N-Fluoro-bis [(trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl] imide (1) undergoes reaction with a variety of nucleophiles to give a number of interesting products. Under suitable conditions, the sulfonyl group on 1 is subject to nucleophilic attack forming N-fluoro-trifluoromethylsulfonyl amide (3) and Nu-SO2CF3. Surprisingly, 3 can also function as a weak nucleophile in the absence of other stronger bases.
