Abstract

Novel reagents for the electrophilic introduction of pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5) arenes into target molecules are disclosed. Unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts 1 having SF5-arenes were synthesized by a one-pot process from iodo-SF5-benzenes 2 in good yields. The SF5-aryliodonium salts 1 were found to be efficient for the electrophilic SF5-arylation of carbon and heterocentered nucleophiles to furnish the corresponding substituted SF5-arenes in good to high yields.
