In a copper-free Sandmeyer-type fluorosulfonylation reaction with Na2S2O5 as the sulfur dioxide source and Selectfluor as fluorine source, aryldiazonium salts are transformed into sulfonyl fluorides. In situ diazotization enables the use of aromatic amines as substrates. The method offers broad functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis and late-stage fluorosulfonylation.

Iodofluorination of aliphatic and aromatic alkenes with iodine and HF·pyridine complex (pyr·9HF) was performed under mild conditions in the presence of K2S2O8 or Na2S2O8 as oxidants. Substitution reactions of the iodofluorinated products by nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen nucleophiles enable further applications as a building blocks for synthesis of 2-fluoroalkyl-substituted compounds.

The use of vinyl ethers as robust, inexpensive acetyl sources enables a mild, operationally simple Minisci C-H acetylation of N-heteroarenes. The reaction does not require a catalyst or high temperature and is therefore significantly more sustainable than previously reported methods in terms of cost, reagent toxicity, and waste generation.
