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.

Process for the preparation of aromatic sulfur compounds

A process for the preparation of an aromatic thiophenol represented by the formula (I): Yn—Ar—(SH)m(I), wherein Ar represents an aromatic hydrocarbon; Y represents at least one substituent bonded to a carbon atom constituting the aromatic ring of Ar, which substituent is selected from the group consisting of halogen, nitro, nitrile, sulfone, sulfamoyl and hydrocarbylsulfonyl groups; m is an integer of 1 or more; and n is an integer of 1 or more, which comprises (a) reacting an aromatic thioether represented by the formula (II): Yn—Ar—(SR)m(II), wherein R represents a monovalent secondary or tertiary hydrocarbyl, or a monovalent primary hydrocarbyl group represented by the formula: —CH2—R1or —CH2—CR2═C (R2)2, wherein R1represents a monovalent aromatic ring group optionally substituted by a monovalent hydrocarbyl group, and each of R2is the same or different from each other and represents hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbyl group, with (A) a Lewis acid in the presence of a solvent or with a protonic acid, provided that when (A) is a protonic acid, R is not a primary hydrocarbyl group, and (b) optionally hydrolyzing the reaction product from step (a).
