Abstract

A new synthesis of aromatic sulfurpentafluoride compounds is described. Subsequent elaboration of the aromatic rings in the presence of the sulfurpentafluoride group is also discussed for a variety of common synthetic methods. This paper also describes ab initio electronic structure calculations of 3- and 4-aminophenylsulfurpentafluoride, compared with 3- and 4-aminobenzotrifluoride, and presents X-ray crystal structures of two aromatic sulfurpentafluoride derivatives.
