2.3. The reactions of fluorine-containing C-nucleophilic compounds with sulphur halogenderivatives .

Derivatives of quadrivalent and hexavalent sulphur, containing haloid atoms, exchange halogen groups for different functional ones when nucleophilic reagents are acting. As a result of this the main task is the generation of fluorine-contraining carbanions and their introduction into reactions with sulphur compounds. One of the approaches which are based on one of available and produced compounds is generation of carbanions out of perfluorolefines under the action of alkali metals fluorides. Thus sulfuryl fluoride joins to fluoroolefines in presence of alkali metals fluorides in polar aprotic solvent, producing respective sulfofluorides or sulfones [59].

The mechanism of these changes is in initial addition of fluoride-ion with fluoroolefine and generation of carbanion, reacting with sulfuryl fluoride.

Similarly, perfluoro-isopropylsulfonyl fluoride with 72% yield was obtained  from hexafluoropropylene and sulfuryl fluoride at the presence of KF [60].

2.4. The application of trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane in the synthesis
of trifluoromethane-sulfo-acid and its derivatives.

The other method is using of  synthones  on the base of IV group elements. Thus if interaction of trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane  with SO2 during absence of anionic initiators doesn't take place then in presence of fluoride-ion sources (for example, tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF)), the formation of   tetra(n-butyl)ammonium trifluoromethanesulphite [61] takes place. It was found that Me3SiONa in tetrahydrofurane was able to employ instead TBAF.  The further oxidization of this salt by 30% hydrogen peroxide results in formation of trifluoromethanesulfonate or free trifluoromethanesulfo-acid. Me3SiONa is rather effective as initiator of this reaction. Though total yield of trifluoromethanesulfo-acid is not high (up to 30 %). At the same time this method can be competitive regarding electrochemical fluorination method.

In the work [62] it was shown that reaction CF3SiMe3 with -SO3 in freon 113 runs rather easy at temperature gradient from –196 to 25 îÑ with formation of  trimethylsilyl ester of trifluoromethanesulfo-acid.



It's natural that CF3SiMe3 at conditions of  nucleophilic catalysis by fluoride-ion react with sulfo-compounds containing labile atom of halogen. Thus during reaction with SOF2   (mole ratio of reagents 1:1 and 1:2) CF3SOF and (CF3)2SO was produced. Similarly this system reacts with SOCl and SO2Cl2 [63].

Analogously to this method trifluoroetylenesulfo-acid can be obtained [64].
