A Mild and Efficient Synthesis of Buta-1,3-dienes Substituted with a Terminal Pentafluoro-λ⁶-sulfanyl Group

Abstract

An efficient four-step route towards the synthesis of conjugated 1,3-dienes substituted with a terminal SF₅-group was proposed. Key steps of the synthetic sequence are the bromination of 1-(pentafluoro-λ⁶-sulfanyl)alk-1-enes followed by dehydrobromination of the corresponding products.

Key words

butadienes - alkenes - pentafluorosulfanyl group - elimination
