Reactions of trisilylated silylfluorides with potassium tert-butoxide were found to give disilylated fluorosilylenoids. The latter undergo a self-condensation reaction, leading to the formation of beta-fluorodisilanyl anions, which may also be considered as fluoride adducts of disilenes. The stereochemical outcome of this self-condensation depends on the bulkiness of the silyl substituents. Thus, mixtures of diastereomers are obtained in some cases. Reaction of a disilene adduct with magnesium bromide triggers metal fluoride elimination and formation of the respective tetrasilylated disilene. Attempts to exchange one silyl group of the starting material for a methyl, phenyl, or tert-butyl group led to a different course of reaction for the methyl and phenyl cases. The tert-butyl-substituted example gave the expected disilene adduct, but it was not the main product.

Article Synopsis
  • A cationic N-heterocyclic phosphenium iron tetracarbonyl complex was synthesized and its reactivity with various anionic reactants was investigated, resulting in different products depending on the anion involved.
  • Reactions with fluoride and chloride produced neutral diazaphospholenes, while bromide and iodide led to NHP iron halides through metal addition and decarbonylation.
  • At room temperature, the cationic complex primarily reduced to form a detectable Fe-centered radical, whereas at -78 °C, CH-metalation was favored, further evidenced by the characterization of a neutral borane-adduct.
  • The complex’s reactivity variations are attributed to its higher electrophilicity compared to neutral complexes

Sulfenyl fluorides are organic compounds of sulfur in formal oxidation state +2 with the formula R-S-F. Although the chloride, bromide, and iodide analogues have been extensively described in the literature, arenesulfenyl fluorides remain essentially unstudied. These structures have been implicated as putative intermediates in established processes to access polyfluorinated sulfur species; however, definitive and direct evidence of their existence has not been obtained, nor has a systematic understanding of their reactivity.

The addition of phosphines (PR) to Michael acceptors is a key step in many Lewis-base catalysed reactions. The kinetics of the reactions of ten phosphines with ethyl acrylate, ethyl allenoate, ethyl propiolate, ethenesulfonyl fluoride, and ethyl 2-butynoate in dichloromethane at 20 °C was followed by photometric and NMR spectroscopic methods. The experimentally determined second-order rate constants show that electronic effects in sterically unencumbered phosphines affect their nucleophilicity towards different classes of Michael acceptors in the same ordering.

The reactions of selected haloacetyl fluorides with the strong Lewis acids AsF and SbF were investigated in the aprotic solvent SOClF. Depending on the stoichiometric ratio of AsF or SbF and the haloacetyl fluorides, either -coordinated adducts or the respective haloacetylium ions were isolated as solids. The compounds were characterized by low-temperature vibrational spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

New type of filaments for improved accuracy of multiple sulfur isotope analyses by electron-impact gas-source mass spectrometry.

Rationale: The analysis of the three sulfur stable isotope ratios (S/S, S/S, S/S) is routinely performed by gas-source isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) on the SF gaseous molecule, collecting SF ions at m/z ~ 127, 128, 129 and 131. High precision and accuracy are commonly achieved owing to a lack of correction because fluorine has only one isotope and the inert nature of the SF molecule. The analysis of the S/S ratio is, however, complicated by the low abundance of S (~0.
