One-pot fluorosulfurylation of Grignard reagents using sulfuryl fluoride

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Dec 5;55(98):14753-14756. doi: 10.1039/c9cc08487h.

Abstract

Herein, we report a new method for the one-pot syntheses of sulfonyl fluorides. Addition of an alkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl Grignard to a solution of sulfuryl fluoride at ambient temperature affords the desired sulfonyl fluorides in 18-78% yield. Furthermore, this method is applicable for in situ sequential reactions, whereby the Grignard reagent can be converted to the corresponding diarylsulfone, sulfonate ester, or sulfonamide in a one-pot process.
