Abstract

> C= O+ SF4+) CF2+ SOF? with a variety of carbonyl compounds including aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids. Discovery of this reaction, one of few reactions useful for introduction of fluorine at a specific site in a molecule, makes available many new or relatively inaccessible fluorine compounds. Reactions of SF4 with the various classes of organic carbonyl compounds are discussed in the following sections. Carboxylic Acids.-In ...
