The TCICA/KF approach to oxidative fluorination of heteroatoms has emerged as a surprisingly simple, safe, and versatile surrogate to classically challenging fluorination reactions. Although polyfluorination (or chlorofluorination) of diaryl disulfides, diaryl diselenides, diaryl ditellurides, aryl iodides, and aryl(perfluoroalkyl)tellanes has been described, the application of this TCICA/KF methodology to aryl(perfluoroalkyl)sulfanes and selanes remains an area of unexplored chemical space. Accordingly, to address the "missing links" in the developing series of chalcogen-based substrate reactivity, we report mild syntheses of metastable difluoro(aryl)(perfluoroalkyl)-λ -sulfanes and selanes. As only limited examples of these species exist in the current literature (accessible only by using F or XeF /HF), we have carried out detailed structural analyses, primarily using NMR and SC-XRD data. In addition, we investigate the effect of the perfluoroalkyl chain on the outcome of oxidative fluorination, and, finally, we provide preliminary evidence that difluoro(aryl)(trifluoro-methyl)-λ -sulfanes may act as fluorinating reagents.

Fluorinated groups are essential hydrophobic groups in drug design. Combining a carbon-free tetrafluoro-λ-sulfanyl (SF) group with a polyfluoroalkyl group (R) provides SFR groups, exhibiting high hydrophobicity with a short carbon chain. In this study, various aryltetrafluoro(polyfluoroalkyl)-λ-sulfanes (ArSFR) were synthesized through the radical addition of arylchlorotetrafluoro-λ-sulfanes (ArSFCl) to tetrafluoroethylene.

Numerous secondary metabolites in medicinal food homology plants such as Allium inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), but the current understanding of the inhibition mechanism is limited. In this study, we employed ultrafiltration, spectroscopic, molecular docking, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS/MS) techniques to investigate the inhibition mechanism of AChE by garlic organic sulfanes, including diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), and diallyl trisulfide (DATS). The results of UV-spectrophotometry and ultrafiltration experiments showed the inhibition of AChE activity by DAS and DADS was reversible (competitive inhibition), but inhibition by DATS was irreversible.

The synthesis of substituted aza- and oxaazaisowurtzitanes via direct condensation is challenging. The selection of starting ammonia derivatives is very limited. The important step in developing alternative synthetic routes to these compounds is a detailed study on their formation process.

A photoinitiated anti-hydropentafluorosulfanylation of terminal alkynes using SF Cl and (TMS) SiH as the hydrogen atom donor is reported. This transformation generates selectively (Z)-(1-alken-1-yl)pentafluoro-λ -sulfanes (Z:E : >85:15), thus allowing the preparation of this previously unknown geometrical isomer. DFT calculations highlight that the selectivity is due to the intrinsic preference of SF -substituted vinylic radicals to adopt a cis geometry, and to increased steric contacts during the transition structures leading to the minor (E)-products.

It is widely hypothesised that primeval life utilised small organic molecules as sources of carbon and energy. However, the presence of such primordial ingredients in early Earth habitats has not yet been demonstrated. Here we report the existence of indigenous organic molecules and gases in primary fluid inclusions in c.
