“…Discovered in 1936, sulfuryl chlorofluoride (SO 2 ClF) [15] was employed as a solvent for generation of positively charged species by Olah and Gillespie [16][17][18][19][20]. Due to its high dielectric constant, low nucleophilicity, wide liquid range (bp 7.1 8C, mp À124.7 8C), and high chemical stability towards electrophilic reagents, SO 2 ClF became the solvent of choice for reactions involving strong oxidizers and Lewis acids, especially SbF 5 [3,6].…”
