Abstract

This review article outlines the literature from 2022 to 2024 covering developments in SF5 chemistry. Recent synthetic methodologies of SF5-containing building blocks are reported. These methods include the synthesis of SF5Cl and its use in pentafluorosulfanylation reactions and oxidative fluorination reactions. Moreover, the reactivity of SF5-alkynes as versatile platform to access new SF5-compounds is described. Finally, the effects of the SF5 moiety are highlighted according to its application in different fields, such as biological/medicinal chemistry, catalysis, and material sciences.
