<i>N</i>-(Trifluoromethylsulfonyl)arenesulfonimidoyl and<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′-Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)arenesulfonodiimidoyl Chlorides

Abstract

N-(Trifluoromethylsulfonyl)arenesulfonimidoyl chlorides 3a-e and N,N′-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)arenesulfonodiimidoyl chlorides 6a-e are obtained by N,N-dichlorotrifluoromethanesulfonamide oxidative imination of arene sulfonyl chlorides 1a-e and diaryl disulfides 4a-e, respectively. The electron nature of the new substituents possessing high electron-accepting ability is also determined.
