Trifluoromethanesulfanylamides as Easy-to-Handle Equivalents of the Trifluoromethanesulfanyl Cation (CF_3S~+): Reaction with Alkenes and Alkynes

摘要

The specific physico-chemical properties of fluorinated molecules are of great interest in a wide range of applications. Consequently, organofluorine chemistry has grown steadily to become, today, a field of tremendous importance with a distinctive role in highly diverse technological applications (for example, fluoropolymers, pharmaceutical and agrochem-ical products, materials science, and medical imaging). These last years, heteroatom-containing fluorinated groups have attracted special interest, in particular the CF3S moiety, which exhibits a high hydrophobicity parameter (π_R = 1.44). Consequently compounds bearing this group are potentially important targets in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical fields.
