Abstract

Sulfur(VI) fluorides are an emerging class of compounds that have remarkable stability to hydrolysis, redox chemistry, and thermal decomposition compared to other S(VI) halides. As a result, there is a high interest in these compounds as synthetic tools. This chapter will highlight the synthesis of S(VI) fluorides including sulfonyl fluorides (RSO₂F), fluorosulfates (ROSO₂OR), sulfamoyl fluorides (R₂NSO₂NR₂), and iminosulfur oxydifluorides (RNSOF₂). The general reactivity of these compounds will be discussed as well as their applications in small‐molecule synthesis, metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling chemistry, materials, and chemical biology.
