Abstract

Synthetic access to systematically substituted tetrafluoro-λ6-sulfanes was challenging and the research in this area had been largely abandoned. The original reports of disubstituted-tetrafluoro-λ6-sulfanes were limited to substitution by diphenyl and dialkyl groups. The dialkyl-tetrafluoro-λ6-sulfanes were reactive while the diphenyl substituted compounds showed decreased reactivity. In this dissertation, the systematic substitution on tetrafluoro-λ6-sulfanes has enabled the studies of the substitution effects on reactivity.
