A SuFEx linkage reaction between sulfonimidoyl fluoride and allyltrimethylsilane was achieved for the construction of -modified allylsulfoximines in minutes with BF as a nonmetal difunctional activator enabling the activation of both S-F and C-Si bonds to forge the S-C (sp) bond swiftly. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations indicated that the linkage was initiated with the activation of sulfonimidoyl fluoride and then followed with the transfer of the fluoride anion to the TMS group.

Sulfur-centered electrophilic 'warheads' have emerged as key components for chemical proteomic probes through sulfur-exchange chemistry (SuFEx) with protein nucleophiles. Among these functional groups, sulfonimidoyl fluorides (SIFs) stand out for their modifiable sites, tunable electrophilicities, and chiral sulfur-center, presenting exciting possibilities for new covalent chemical probes. However, the synthetic access to chiral SIFs has been a challenge, limiting their exploration and applications.

We develop a rapid and mild protocol to access sulfonimidoyl fluoride-[S(VI)] from sulfenamide-[S(II)] directly. The transformation occurs via the reaction of sulfenamide with NCS (-chlorosuccinimide), water, and TBAF in acetonitrile. Water and TBAF act as the source for S═O bond formation and fluoride, respectively.

The application of sulfinamides has been witnessed in medicinal and agrochemistry with employment in asymmetric transformations. However, methods for their asymmetric catalytic synthesis have rarely been explored. Herein, the catalytic enantioselective addition of aryl boroxines to sulfinylamines via Cu catalyst and the newly developed Xuphos ligand were reported.

S(VI) compounds with multiple N or O substituents are often difficult to make and several crucial routes, such as multimodal SuFEx (Sulfur (VI) Fluoride Exchange) chemistry, rely on the highly useful but hazardous SOF gas. Safety issues and inaccessibility of SOF strongly hamper the developments of these organic compounds. Here we describe the synthesis and applications of 2-methylimidazole-1-(N-tert-octyl)sulfonimidoyl fluoride (ImSF), a novel bench-stable analogue of SOF.

Sulfur(VI) Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) chemistry stands as a well-established method for swiftly constructing complex molecules in a modular fashion. An especially promising segment of this toolbox is reserved for multidimensional SuFEx hubs: three or more substituents pluggable into a singular S centre to make 'beyond-linear' clicked constructions. Sulfurimidoyl difluorides (RNSOF) stand out as the prime example of this, however their preparation from the scarcely available thionyl tetrafluoride (SOF) limits this chemistry to only a few laboratories with access to this gas.
