Front Cover: Synthesis, Reactivity and Activation Modes of Fluoroalkyl Thiosulfonates and Selenosulfonates (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 41/2021)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows highly versatile reagents gravitating in the galaxy of reactions aiming to introduce fluorine‐containing units, namely fluoroalkylchalcogenosulfonates. Indeed, this family of compounds enables trifluoromethylation, trifluoromethylsulfonylation, fluoroalkylthiolation, and fluoroalkylselenolation reactions through several activation modes. Thus, these valuable fluorinated motifs can be introduced following electrophilic, nucleophilic, or radical pathways onto a plethora of organic substrates.
