The highly functionalized organofluorine compounds 3a-c were prepared
from the activated dichlorinated sulfides 2a-c by displacement of a ch
lorine atom using nucleophilic fluorination agents such as dihydrogenf
luoride polymer-supported. Fluorination of sulfoxides 5a-c with diethy
laminosulfur trifluoride gives monofluoro sulfides 6a-c, subsequently
transformed into alpha-chloro-alpha-fluoro sulfides 3a-c and sulfones
7a-c. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
