Arenesulfonyl Fluoride Synthesis via Copper-Catalyzed Fluorosulfonylation of Arenediazonium Salts

We report herein a general and practical copper-catalyzed fluorosulfonylation reaction of a wide range of abundant arenediazonium salts to smoothly prepare various arenesulfonyl fluorides using the 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-bis(sulfur dioxide) adduct as a convenient sulfonyl source in combination with KHF2 as an ideal fluorine source and without the need for additional oxidants. Interestingly, the electronic character of the arene ring in the starting arenediazonium salts has a significant impact on the reaction mechanistic pathway.

Sulfonyl Fluoride Synthesis through Electrochemical Oxidative Coupling of Thiols and Potassium Fluoride

Sulfonyl fluorides are valuable synthetic motifs for a variety of applications, among which sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange-based "click chemistry" is currently the most prominent. Consequently, the development of novel and efficient synthetic methods to access these functional groups is of great interest. Herein, we report a mild and environmentally benign electrochemical approach to prepare sulfonyl fluorides using thiols or disulfides, as widely available starting materials, in combination with KF, as an inexpensive, abundant and safe fluoride source. No additional oxidants nor additional catalysts are required and, due to mild reaction conditions, the reaction displays a broad substrate scope, including a variety of alkyl, benzyl, aryl and heteroaryl thiols or disulfides.

SuFEx-enabled, agnostic discovery of covalent inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase

Sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx) has emerged as the new generation of click chemistry. We report here a SuFEx-enabled, agnostic approach for the discovery and optimization of covalent inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase (hNE). Evaluation of our ever-growing collection of SuFExable compounds toward various biological assays unexpectedly revealed a selective and covalent hNE inhibitor: benzene-1,2-disulfonyl fluoride. Synthetic derivatization of the initial hit led to a more potent agent, 2-(fluorosulfonyl)phenyl fluorosulfate with IC50 0.24 μM and greater than 833-fold selectivity over the homologous neutrophil serine protease, cathepsin G. The optimized, yet simple benzenoid probe only modified active hNE and not its denatured form.

N-fluorination with cesium fluoroxysulfate

Cesium fluoroxysulfate was proved to be a N-fluorinating agent for some nitrogen compounds. Yields of products obtained, mainly monofluoro-derivatives, depend on structures of initial nitrogen compounds. The ability of cesium fluoroxysylfate for N-fluorin
