A method for aliphatic fluoride functionalization with a variety of nucleophiles has been reported. Carbon–fluoride bond cleavage is thermodynamically driven by the use of silylated pseudohalides TMS-OMs or TMS-NTf2, resulting in the formation of TMS-F and a trapped aliphatic pseudohalide intermediate. The rate of fluoride/pseudohalide exchange and the stability of this intermediate are such that little rearrangement is observed for terminal fluoride positions in linear aliphatic fluorides. The ability to convert organofluoride positions into pseudohalide groups allows facile nucleophilic attack by a wide range of nucleophiles. The late introduction of the nucleophiles also allows for a wide range of functional-group tolerance in the coupling partners. Selective alkyl fluoride mesylation is observed in the presence of other alkyl halides, allowing for orthogonal synthetic strategies.

A new protocol for the thioetherification of structurally varied alcohols with aryl halides using Lawesson's reagent, catalysed by copper(I) iodide, and using diglyme as a safe solvent was developed. Using this method, the reactions of aryl halides proceeded efficiently, and the desired sulfides were obtained in high to excellent yields. The method uses alcohols as starting materials, which is a significant advantage over methods that start from thiols. Alcohols are widely commercially available in a much greater structural diversity than thiols, and they are also nontoxic and not foul-smelling. A reaction mechanism was proposed. A copper-catalysed method for the thioetherification of alcohols with aryl halides using Lawesson's reagent was developed.
