2-Chlorovinylsulfur pentafluoride, first synthesized'J photocatalytically, was prepared in this study by thermal addition of SF5Cl to a~ etylene.~ The other SF5 compounds in the four-step sequence are new and have been identified by elemental and spectral analyses. H'nmr spectroscopy has served to elucidate the cis and trans configurations of these and other SFB- substituted ethylenes obtained in this study (see Table I). The spectra of the cis and trans ...
