Photoinitiated anti-Hydropentafluorosulfanylation of Terminal Alkynes

Melodie Birepinte et al.

Summary: 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.

Oxidative Fluorination of Heteroatoms Enabled by Trichloroisocyanuric Acid and Potassium Fluoride

Yannick Kraemer et al.

Summary: In the development of synthetic methods, researchers discovered a mild and inexpensive oxidative fluorination method based on potassium fluoride and trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCICA), which enabled the synthesis of pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5) compounds. Further exploration led to the discovery of its application in the synthesis of other fluorinated heteroatoms. Ultimately, it was found that this method can be used to synthesize SF5Cl.

Ethynyl-SF4-Pyridines: Reagents for SF4-Alkynylation to CarbonylCompounds

Kentaro Iwaki et al.

Summary: The trans-tetrafluoro-lambda 6-sulfanyl (SF4) unit is of medicinal interest due to its high electronegativity, lipophilicity, and unique hypervalent structure. Despite the difficulties in synthesis, the first synthesis of (ethynyl-trans-tetrafluoro-lambda 6-sulfanyl) pyridines and their use as versatile reagents for SF4-alkynylation to carbonyl compounds was reported. The addition reaction of t-ethynyl-SF4-pyridines to carbonyl groups in the presence of MeLi yielded pyridine-SF4-propargylic tertiary and secondary alcohols in high yields.

Regioselective Synthesis of Pyridine-SF4-Methyl Ketones via Hydration of Pyridine-SF4-Alkynes

Kentaro Iwaki et al.

Summary: In this study, we reported a metal-free hydration reaction of pyridine-SF4-alkynes under acidic conditions, which synthesized pyridine-SF4-methyl ketones with yields ranging from 59% to 93%. We further demonstrated the synthetic applications of these compounds, including chlorination, NaBH4 reduction, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, and the generation of enol triflates. These compounds show promise as useful building blocks in the synthesis of a wide range of SF4-containing drug candidates.

Examining Trichloroisocyanuric Acid and Oxalyl Chloride in Complementary Approaches to Fluorination of Group 15 Heteroatoms

Dustin Bornemann et al.

Summary: A mild oxidative fluorination approach using TCICA and KF was developed for synthesizing various fluorinated phosphorus compounds, expanding on previous deoxygenative fluorination studies. The method was also explored for other group 15 heteroatoms with varying degrees of success, extending the known reactivity series of TCICA/KF to a new group of elements. This work highlights the utility of both TCICA/KF and oxalyl chloride/KF methods for fluorination reactions.

Electron donor-acceptor (EDA)-complex enabled SF5Cl addition on alkenes and alkynes

Audrey Gilbert et al.

Summary: A new method for adding SF5Cl onto unsaturated compounds was developed using an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex and visible light irradiation. Compared to common SF5Cl addition protocols, this reaction does not require the presence of oxygen to proceed. The method was successfully demonstrated on 19 examples of alkenes and alkynes, with yields ranging from 31% to 86%.

The Supramolecular Structural Chemistry of Pentafluorosulfanyl and Tetrafluorosulfanylene Compounds

Phil Liebing et al.

Summary: The analysis of crystal structures of SF5- or SF4-containing molecules showed that these groups are often surrounded by hydrogen or other fluorine atoms, and F...F contacts are important in many compounds. Additionally, repeating structural motifs formed by contacts between SF5 groups were identified, including different supramolecular dimers and infinite chains.

Bridge Functionalisation of Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane Derivatives

Joseph M. Anderson et al.

Summary: By replacing aromatic rings, internal alkynes, and tert-butyl groups with bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) units, the saturation level and three-dimensionality of drug-like compounds can be increased to enhance their potency and selectivity. While functionalization of the tertiary bridgehead positions of BCP derivatives is well-studied, functionalization of the three concyclic secondary bridge positions is still a developing field. The unique properties of the BCP core present synthetic challenges but offer novel vectors for drug discovery and applications in materials science.
