Routes to Pt Derivatives of High‐Valent Sulfur Oxofluorides S(═O)<sub>2</sub>F, S(═O)F<sub>2</sub>, and S(═O)F<sub>3</sub> by Fluorination and Oxygenation
Metal derivatives of high-valent sulfur fluorides and oxofluorides can provid e fluorinated building blocks for materials science and bioactive compounds, but so far, such building blocks are elusive. The paper describes routes to access remarkable metal derivatives of S(═O)<sub>2</sub>F, S(═O)F<sub>2</sub>, and S(═O)F<sub>3</sub> by oxygenation or fluorination steps. The Pt(II) fluorido complex trans-[Pt(F)(SOF)(PCy<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (2) reacts with the Davis reagent (3-phenyl-2-(phenylsulfonyl)-1,2-oxaziridine) to yield the sulfuryl fluorido complex trans-[Pt(F)(SO<sub>2</sub>F)(PCy<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (4). Notably, the electrophilic fluorinating agent NFSI (N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide) reacts with 2 to form trans-[Pt(F)(SOF<sub>2</sub>)(PCy<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>][NFSO<sub>2</sub>Ph] (5a). By nucleophilic fluorination with TMAF (Me<sub>4</sub>NF) it is possible to fluorinate the sulfur center once more to give the complex trans-[Pt(F)(SOF<sub>3</sub>)(PCy<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (6) bearing an unprecedented SOF<sub>3</sub> ligand. Above 283 K, complex 6 shows a decomposition of the SOF<sub>3</sub> moiety to form trans-[Pt(F)<sub>2</sub>(PCy<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (7) and SOF<sub>2</sub>. The described complexes could represent a previously unknown class of transfer reagents for high-valent sulfur fluoride units.
