A one-pot Pd-catalyzed conversion of aryl iodide to aryl sulfonyl fluorides using DABSO and Selectfluor has been developed generating aryl sulfonyl fluorides in good to excellent yields. The reaction results in the generation of electronically and sterically diverse sulfonyl fluorides. Additionally, sulfonyl fluorides can be converted to aryl sulfonamides and sulfonic esters using CsCO under mild conditions.
The following text should be added as a third paragraph in the Experimental Section. The authors apologize for any inconvenience to the scientific community that this omission may have caused.Fluorination Step. After 14 h, the tube was allowed to cool to room temperature. The tube was opened to air, and Selectfluor (638 mg, 1.8 mmol, 2 equiv) was added followed by acetonitrile (3 mL). The Schlenk tube was resealed, and the mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 h. After 2 h, the solvents were removed by rotary evaporation. The crude product was isolated using automated flash chromatography (SiO 2 ) on a 100% hexane to 60:40 hexanes/ethyl acetate over 14 min unless otherwise noted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
