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.

From a design principle described in an earlier paper, a new series of substituted aryl methyl disulfides have been prepared and tested against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. Methyl p-nitrophenyl disulfide is more potent (by an order of magnitude) than the fungitoxic natural product (CH3SCH2S)2. With the present rationale in hand, one can anticipate which Polycarpamine is an effective antifungal agent. CSIRO 2000.

On UV irradiation, β-keto sulfides ArSCH2COPh (Ar = C6F5, C6CL5) cleaved to radicals ArS* and PhCOCH2* which, in one case (Ar = C6F5), were trapped by 1,1-diphenylethylene as the adduct PhCOCH2CH2C(Ph)2SC6F5.With diethyl ether as the solvent the major product was the monothioacetal ArSCH(Me)OEt.The keto sulfide 4-MeSO2C6H4SCH2COPh behaved similarly on irradiation in tetrahydrofuran.Irradiation of the unsaturated β-keto sulfides CH2=CH2COCH2SAr resulted in homolysis of the CH2-S bond to give a 2-oxohex-5-enyl radical, which subsequently cyclised; 4-(pentafluorophenylsulfanyl)cyclohexanone (when Ar = C6F5) and cyclohexanone (when Ar = p-tolyl) were the major products.With β-keto sulfides containing an aryl substituent, ethyl 2-benzyl-2-methyl-3-oxo-4-(pentafluorophenylsulfanyl)butanoate and 1,3-bis(p-tolylsulfanyl)propanone, irradiation resulted in cyclisation with loss of the sulfanyl substituent (probably involving electron transfer) to give 3-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-one and 6-methylthiochroman-3-one, respectively, in high yield.
