This photoinitiated anti-hydropentafluorosulfanylation of terminal alkynes uses SF5Cl and (TMS)(3)SiH as the hydrogen atom donor. It selectively generates (Z)-(1-alken-1-yl)pentafluoro-lambda(6)-sulfanes, allowing for the preparation of a previously unknown geometrical isomer. DFT calculations show that the selectivity is due to the preference of SF5-substituted vinylic radicals to adopt a cis geometry and increased steric contacts during transition structures leading to the minor (E)-products.
A photoinitiated anti-hydropentafluorosulfanylation of terminal alkynes using SF5Cl and (TMS)(3)SiH as the hydrogen atom donor is reported. This transformation generates selectively (Z)-(1-alken-1-yl)pentafluoro-lambda(6)-sulfanes (Z:E : >85:15), thus allowing the preparation of this previously unknown geometrical isomer. DFT calculations highlight that the selectivity is due to the intrinsic preference of SF5-substituted vinylic radicals to adopt a cis geometry, and to increased steric contacts during the transition structures leading to the minor (E)-products.
