Enhanced preparation of aryl and heteryl sulfur pentafluorides using mercury (II) oxide - hydrogen fluoride media as a fluorinating reagent

We developed enhanced method for low temperature and good yield preparation of aryl and heteryl sulfur pentafluorides from chlorotetrafluorides using mercury oxide - hydrogen fluoride and mercury oxide - pyridinium poly(hydrogen fluoride) media as the fluorinating reagents.

Improved Access to Organo-Soluble Di- and Tetrafluoridochlorate(I)/(III) Salts

A facile one-pot gram-scale synthesis of tetraalkylammonium tetrafluoridochlorate(III) [cat][ClF4] ([cat]=[NEt3Me]+, [NEt4]+) is described. An acetonitrile solution of the corresponding alkylammonium chloride salt is fluorinated with diluted fluorine at low temperatures. The reaction proceeds via the [ClF2]? anion which is structurally characterized for the first time. The potential application of [ClF4]? salts as fluorinating agents is evaluated by the reaction with diphenyl disulfide, Ph2S2, to pentafluorosulfanyl benzene, PhSF5. The CN moieties in acetonitrile and [B(CN)4]? are transferred in CF3 groups. Exposure of carbon monoxide, CO, leads to the formation of carbonyl fluoride, COF2, and elemental gold is dissolved under the formation of tetrafluoridoaurate [AuF4]?.

Synthesis of 4-(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and analogs and their application for the preparation of SF5-aromatics

4-(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salt was synthesized and isolated. The pentafluorosulfanyl salt was examined in a wide assortment of reactions to form novel SF5-bearing alkenes, alkynes, and biaryl derivatives using Heck-Matsuda, Sonogashira, and Suzuki coupling protocols. Dediazoniation of the salt furnished the corresponding p-SF5—C6H4X,C6H4OS(O)(CF3)═NSO2CF3, and p-SF5—C6H4-NTf2 derivatives. The azide derivative p-SF5—C6H4N3 entered into click chemistry with phenylacetylenes to furnish the corresponding triazoles. Various SF5-bearing alkenes were synthesized by coupling reactions using a metal catalyst. Fluorodediazoniation selectively furnished the fluoro derivative p-SF5—C6H4F. Homolytic dediazoniation gave the unsymmetrical biaryls, thus demonstrating the broad utility of pentafluorosulfanyl diazonium salts as building blocks of SF5-aromatics that are in high demand in many branches of chemistry including biomedicine and materials chemistry.

Pyridine-promoted dediazoniation of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates: Application to the synthesis of SF5-substituted phenylboronic esters and iodobenzenes

Pyridine promotes dediazoniation of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates. The formed aryl radicals were trapped with B2pin2, iodine, or tetrahydrofuran to afford boronic esters, iodobenzenes and benzenes, respectively. The application to the synthesis of (pentafluorosulfanyl) phenylboronic esters, iodo(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenes and (pentafluorosulfanyl)benzene is shown.

An improved method for the fluorination of arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides to arylsulfur pentafluorides

A new method for the fluorination of arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides to arylsulfur pentafluorides is described. The reaction is promoted by hydrogen fluoride generated from potassium hydrogen fluoride and trifluoroacetic acid which also serves as a solvent. The reaction is performed under mild conditions and uses substochiometric amounts of potassium hydrogen fluorides in certain cases. Recovery and reuse of trifluoroacetic acid was successfully demonstrated which makes this method safe, simple to use, and atom- and cost-effective.

4-(Pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenediazonium Tetrafluoroborate: A Versatile Launch Pad for the Synthesis of Aromatic SF5 Compounds via Cross Coupling, Azo Coupling, Homocoupling, Dediazoniation, and Click Chemistry

The reagent 4-(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate (1) was synthesized and isolated as a stable salt for the first time; its application in a wide assortment of transformations was subsequently investigated. A series of novel SF5-bearing alkenes, alkynes, and biaryl derivatives were synthesized by employing Heck-Matsuda, Sonogashira, and Suzuki coupling protocols. Dediazoniation with TMSX (X = Hal; N3; and CN) and NH4SCN in [BMIM][BF4] as solvent furnished the corresponding p-SF5-C6H4X derivatives. The azide derivative p-SF5-C6H4N3 entered into click chemistry with phenylacetylenes to furnish the corresponding triazoles. The 4,4′-bis(pentafluorosulfanyl)biphenyl was synthesized by homo-coupling using Pd(OAc)2. The corresponding azo compounds were obtained through azo-coupling with reactive aromatic nucleophiles (1,3-dimethoxybenzene, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene, aniline and phenol). Fluorodediazoniation in [BMIM][PF6] and [BMIM][BF 4] selectively furnished the fluoro derivative p-SF 5-C6H4F. Dediazoniation in [BMIM][NTf 2] gave p-SF5-C6H4OS(O)(CF 3)=NSO2CF3 as the major and p-SF 5-C6H4-NTf2 as the minor products. Homolytic dediazoniation in MeCN/NaI gave the unsymmetrical biaryls p-SF 5-C6H4-Ar (ArH = mesitylene and p-xylene) along with p-SF5-C6H4I. Analysis of the dediazoniation product mixtures indicated that dediazoniation of p-SF 5-C6H4N2+ BF 4- in low nucleophilicity, highly ionizing, solvents (TfOH, TFE, HFIP, TFAH) is mainly heterolytic, while in MeOH it is mainly homolytic. The isodesmic reaction p-SF5-C6H 4+ + R-C6H5 → SF 5-C6H5 + p-R-C6H4 + (with R = NO2, CF3, H) was gauged by DFT at various levels and by PCM. Copyright

Discovery of practical production processes for arylsulfur pentafluorides and their higher homologues, bis- and tris(sulfur pentafluorides): Beginning of a new era of "super-trifluoromethyl" arene chemistry and its industry

Various arylsulfur pentafluorides, ArSF5, have long been desired in both academic and industrial areas, and ArSF5 compounds have attracted considerable interest in many areas such as medicines, agrochemicals, and other new materials, since the highly stable SF5 group is considered a "super-trifluoromethyl group" due to its significantly higher electronegativity and lipophilicity. This article describes the first practical method for the production of various arylsulfur pentafluorides and their higher homologues, bis- and tris(sulfur pentafluorides), from the corresponding diaryl disulfides or aryl thiols. The method consists of two steps: (Step 1) treatment of a diaryl disulfide or an aryl thiol with chlorine in the presence of an alkali metal fluoride, and (step 2) treatment of the resulting arylsulfur chlorotetrafluoride with a fluoride source, such as ZnF2, HF, and Sb(III/V) fluorides. The intermediate arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides were isolated by distillation or recrystallization and characterized. The aspects of these new reactions are revealed and reaction mechanisms are discussed. As the method offers considerable improvement over previous methods in cost, yield, practicality, applicability, and large-scale production, the new processes described here can be employed as the first practical methods for the economical production of various arylsulfur pentafluorides and their higher homologues, which could then open up a new era of "super-trifluoromethyl" arene chemistry and its applications in many areas.
