Abstract

An organocatalytic method for silicon-free SuEEx click reaction of SO2F2 is described. Different organic bases such as DBU, TBD, triethylamine and Hünig’s base can efficiently catalyze the SuFEx of SO2F2 with various phenols to produce aryl fluorosulfates in 61-97% yields. Under the same conditions, pyridone, pyrazolone and secondary amines can also react with SO2F2 to afford the corresponding heteroaryl fluorosulfates or sulfamoyl fluorides in good yields. In this process, molecular sieves absorb the acidic HF efficiently, which avoid the using of stoichiometric amount of silicon reagents and excess of bases.
