Abstract

The rearrangement of trifluoromethanesulfinates to trifluoromethanesulfones (“triflones”) was developed as a synthetic method for obtaining these compounds Their utility as reagents for the construction of carbon skeletons is explored with regard to reactions such as alkylation, conjugation addition, and cycloaddition. In addition, the conversion of triflones to more common functionality is described.
