Abstract
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.
