A method for aliphatic fluoride functionalization with a variety of nucleophiles has been reported. Carbon-fluoride bond cleavage is thermodynamically driven by the use of silylated pseudohalides TMS-OMs or TMS-NTf , resulting in the formation of TMS-F and a trapped aliphatic pseudohalide intermediate. The rate of fluoride/pseudohalide exchange and the stability of this intermediate are such that little rearrangement is observed for terminal fluoride positions in linear aliphatic fluorides. The ability to convert organofluoride positions into pseudohalide groups allows facile nucleophilic attack by a wide range of nucleophiles. The late introduction of the nucleophiles also allows for a wide range of functional-group tolerance in the coupling partners. Selective alkyl fluoride mesylation is observed in the presence of other alkyl halides, allowing for orthogonal synthetic strategies.

A catalyst-free photoinduced deconstructive fluorosulfonylation cascade of spiro dihydroquinazolinones with DABSO and NFSI is reported. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, good yields and excellent functional group tolerance, providing a practical approach to the quinazolin-4(1)-one-functionalized aliphatic sulfonyl fluorides. In addition, the ease of gram-scale synthesis and the versatility of the SuFEx exchange highlight the application potential of this protocol.

Here we report the modular synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles using two highly chemoselective reactions, ligations of -fluorosulfurylamidines with amines and diazotransfer reactions between FSON and -monosubstituted amidines, respectively. Enabled by sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry, we have successfully synthesized a series of -fluorosulfurylamidines and identified them as stable and scalable organic synthons. We then discover that -fluorosulfurylamidines react selectively toward a series of aliphatic amines, resulting in the formation of -monosubstituted amidines that can react further with FSON to deliver 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles.

The strategic incorporation of fluorine atoms into molecules has become a cornerstone of modern pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Herein, we have developed a covalent organic framework (COF)-based, robust photocatalyst that enables the photofluorodecarboxylation reaction of diverse carboxylic acids, producing alkyl fluorides with remarkable efficiency. The catalytic activity of an anthraquinone-based COF catalyst outperforms other structurally analogous β-ketoenamine COFs.
