Deskripsi

An efficient synthesis of a difluorosulfone-containing herbicide has been achieved by selective reductive silylation of a symmetrical bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3-triazole. Subsequently, a fluoride-induced reaction led to a difluoromethyl anion equivalent, which was reacted with a sulfur electrophile leading ultimately to the key difluorosulfide moiety.
