The chemistry of ferrocenesulfonyl fluoride revealed

Dalton Trans. 2021 Nov 23;50(45):16483-16487. doi: 10.1039/d1dt03492h.

Abstract

The first general route toward polysubstituted ferrocenesulfonyl fluorides is described. Merging deprotometallations, 'halogen dance' reaction, Sonogashira, Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-couplings with SuFEx chemistry allowed original ferrocenes of an unprecedented diversity to be obtained.
