“…TBTPS-PFBUS (1): Tris(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)sulfonium bromide (5.00 g, 9.77 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and potassium perfluorobutanesulfonate (3.64 g, 10.8 mmol, 1.1 equiv) were dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL) and water (100 mL) and vigorously stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The layers were separated, and the organic phase was washed with water (5 × 50 mL, 250 mL total) and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (6.71 g, 85%) as a white solid. 1 H NMR (500 MHz, (CD 3 ) 2 CO) δ: 7.84−7.88 (m, 12H), 1.35 (s, 27H). 13 Photochemistry.…”
