Abstract

IF5–pyridine–HF, an air-and moisture-stable solid, can be used as a fluorination reagent for the introduction of fluorine atoms to the α-position of the sulfur atom in sulfides. The desulfurizing–fluorination reactions of benzylic sulfides, thioacetals, and 2-(methylthio)-1, 3- dithiane derivatives were also performed using this reagent.
