Synthesis of trifluoromethanesulfinamidines and -sulfanylamides.

ABSTRACT

Fluorinated moieties constitute important substituents used in many applications to modify the properties of molecules. The action of DAST onto Ruppert's reagent yields to a not isolable intermediate that can then react with various primary amines to give trifluoromethanesulfinamidines and trifluoromethanesulfanylamides. Such compounds were unknown until now and constitute interesting new families of fluorinated molecules.
