A Convenient Route to Aryl Trifluoromethyl Sulfones by Fluoride-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Arenesulfonyl Fluorides with (Trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane and (Trifluoromethyl)trimethylstannane

All articles of this category Trifluoromethylsulfonyl substituted aromatic compounds 3a-d are prepared from the corresponding sulfonyl fluorides 1a-d by reacting with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (or-stannane) in the presence of a base under mild conditions in high yields.
