The first general synthesis of arylsulfur trifluorides has been found in the reaction of aryl disulfides with silver difluoride in 1, 1, 2-trichloro-1, 2, 2-trifluoroethane solvent. Fluorobutyl- and trifluoromethylsulfur trifluorides have been prepared by reaction of butyl disulfide and carbon disulfide or bis-trifluoromethyl trithiocarbonate with silver difluoride. The chemical and physical properties of the sulfur trifluoride compounds are described. In particular, the ...
