Usage of arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides 1 as versatile deoxo- and dethioxo-fluorinating agents is described. There have been developed two convenient methods for the in situ preparation of reactive arylsulfur trifluorides 2 from 1. The one is reduction of 1 with a reducer such as pyridine to 2, and the other is disproportionation of 1 with a diaryl disulfide to 2 with evolution of chlorine gas. The latter method is a convenient way to get neat 2 from 1. The in situ prepared 2 fluorinates many kinds of substrates such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, diketones, and carboxylic acids to give the corresponding CF, CF2, CF2CF2, and CF 3 compounds in high yields. 2 also fluorinates various sulfur compounds including CS groups to give CF2, OCF2, CF 3, and OCF3 compounds in high yields. Reactions of 2 with diols or bis(trimethylsilyl) derivatives of diols or amino alcohols provided the corresponding deoxofluoro-arylsulfinylation products in high yields. In addition, it has been found that chlorotetrafluorides 1 directly and effectively react with the sulfur compounds to give the corresponding fluoro compounds in high yields. Since they are the intermediates for the production of industrially useful arylsulfur pentafluorides, arylsulfur chlorotetrafluorides 1, in particular, phenylsulfur chlorotetrafluoride (1a) are expected to find use as inexpensive and versatile deoxo- and dethioxo-fluorinating agents for the preparation of many organofluoro compounds.
Discovery of 4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfur trifluoride as a deoxofluorinating agent with high thermal stability as well as unusual resistance to aqueous hydrolysis, and its diverse fluorination capabilities including deoxofluoro-arylsulfinylation with high stereoselectivity

Versatile, safe, shelf-stable, and easy-to-handle fluorinating agents are strongly desired in both academic and industrial arenas, since fluorinated compounds have attracted considerable interest in many areas, such as drug discovery, due to the unique effects of fluorine atoms when incorporated into molecules. This article describes the synthesis, properties, and reactivity of many substituted and thermally stable phenylsulfur trifluorides, in particular, 4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfur trifluoride (Fluolead, 1k), as a crystalline solid having surprisingly high stability on contact with water and superior utility as a deoxofluorinating agent compared to current reagents, such as DAST and its analogues. The roles of substiuents on 1k in thermal and hydrolytic stability, fluorination reactivity, and the high-yield fluorination mechanism it undergoes have been clarified. In addition to fluorinations of alcohols, aldehydes, and enolizable ketones, 1k smoothly converts non-enolizable carbonyls to CF2 groups, and carboxylic groups to CF3 groups, in high yields. 1k also converts C(=S) and CH3SC(=S)O groups to CF2 and CF3O groups, respectively, in high yields. In addition, 1k effects highly stereoselective deoxofluoro-arylsulfinylation of diols and amino alcohols to give fluoroalkyl arylsulfinates and arylsulfinamides, with complete inversion of configuration at fluorine and the simultaneous, selective formation of one conformational isomer at the sulfoxide sulfur atom. Considering the unique and diverse properties, relative safety, and ease of handling of 1k in addition to its convenient synthesis, it is expected to find considerable use as a novel fluorinating agent in both academic and industrial arenas.

The synthesis and mechanism of formation of cis- and trans-Ph2SF4 is described. Starting compounds are Ph2S or Ph2SF2 and the oxidizing agent is XeF2 in the presence of Et4NCl. Also described is the synthesis of related chalcogen(IV and VI) fluorides such as t-butylSF3, difluorodibenzothiophene, PhSeF3, Ph2SeF2, PhSF5, p-MeC6H4SF5, PhSeF5, and PhTeF5. The reactions of Ph2S(O)F2 with alcohols and with the H2O-HF-glass system are briefly described.
