New New Stable Fluorinating Reagent with Ease of Handling (Hara Reagent) IF5 . . HF N [P2140] Advantages ・Air-Stable and Non-Hygroscopic Crystalline ・Easy to Handle ・Widely Applicable to Various Fluorinations of Sulfides IF 5 -Pyridine-HF (P2140), which was first reported by Hara et al., is a novel fluorinating reagent. Pentafluoroiodide (IF5) is a strong fluorination liquid agent, but it is unstable in air and decomposes, generating HF. P2140 is a crystalline solid reagent with air stability and non-hygroscopicity which makes it easier to handle, and can be used as an alternative reagent to IF 5 . P2140 can be applied to various fluorination reactions of sulfides as follows.1-4) In addition, P2140 iodofluorinates alkenes with streo- and regioselectivity.5) Fluorination of the α-Positon of a Sulfide1) Cl P2140 (2.3 eq.)

The resulting dark red solution is poured into water (20 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL x 3). The combined organic layer is washed with aq. NaHCO3 and aq. Na2S2O3, and dried over MgSO4. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue is purified with silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ether) to give ethyl 2-[(4-chlorophenyl)thio]-2-fluoropropanoate in 89% yield (117 mg). 1) S.
