This paper reports a new oxidative fluorination reagent consisting of an SF5- anion and a chemically inert phosphonium cation, which is thermally stable. Using this reagent, the SeF5- and TeF5- anions were successfully generated and tetrafluoro(phenyl)-lambda(5)-selenate and -tellurate were synthesized. Furthermore, further derivatization of the tetrafluoro(phenyl)-lambda(5)-tellurate allowed the introduction of functional groups into organic molecules.
Fluorinated group 16 moieties are attractive building blocks in synthetic chemistry but only few synthetic methods are available to prepare them. Herein, we report a new oxidative fluorination reagent capable of stabilizing reactive fluorinated anions. It consists of an SF5- anion and a chemically inert phosphonium cation and is exceptionally thermally stable. Accordingly, it was used to generate the SeF5- and TeF5- anions from the elemental chalcogens and to prepare the unknown tetrafluoro(phenyl)-lambda(5)-selenate PhSeF4- and -tellurate PhTeF4- from the corresponding diphenyl dichalcogenides. In addition, we show that further derivatization of [PhTeF4](-) by oxidation to trans-PhTeF4O- and subsequent alkylation gives access to a new class of trans-(alkoxy)(phenyl)tetrafluoro-lambda(6)-tellanes (trans-PhTeF4OR), thus providing an approach to introduce the functional group into organic molecules.
