1-FLUORO-1,1-BIS(PHENYLSULFONYL)METHANE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

A novel 1-fluoro-1,1-bis(arylsulfonyl)methane is provided which is useful in monofluoromethylation. Also provided is a production method thereof. A method for producing a fluorobis(arylsulfonyl)methane, the method including the steps of: treating a bis (arylsulfonyl)methane represented by the following formula (1),
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(ArSO 2 ) 2 CH 2 €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(1)
(wherein Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group or naphthyl group)
with a base; and then adding a fluorination reagent thereto, to produce fluorobis(arylsulfonyl)methane represented by the following formula (2)
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(ArSO 2 ) 2 CHF€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(2)
(wherein Ar is defined as above), and
a fluorobis(arylsulfonyl)methane (2) represented by the above formula (2) , which is a novel compound that is very useful in producing a monofluoromethyl.
