Abstract

Treatment of α-phenylsulfanyl esters 11–14 with one equivalent of difluoroiodotoluene 3a produced the α-fluoro sulfides 17–20 in good overall yield through a Fluoro-Pummerer reaction. A second equivalent of reagent produced α, α-difluoro sulfides and a third led to α, α-difluoro sulfoxides. An identical patter
