We demonstrate 1,2-dibromoethane-1-sulfonyl fluoride (DESF) as a bench-stable and readily accessible precursor to the robust SuFEx connector, 1-bromoethene-1-sulfonyl fluoride (BESF). The in situ ...generation of BESF from DESF opens up several new reaction profiles, including application in the syntheses of unprecedented 3-substituted isoxazole-5-sulfonyl fluorides, 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-sulfonyl fluorides, 2-amino-1-bromoethane-1-sulfonyl fluorides and 4-bromo-β-sultams in good to excellent yields. These new modules comprise a pendant sulfonyl fluoride handle, which further undergoes facile and selective SuFEx reactions with a selection of aryl silyl ethers to generate stable and useful sulfonate connections.
A convenient method for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazol-3-imines through a selective, formal, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of organo-cyanamide ions with nitrile imine dipoles is reported. Hydrolysis of ...the 1,2,4-triazol-3-imines yields the corresponding 1,2,4-triazol-5-ones. A stepwise mechanism, supported by DFT calculations, is invoked to explain the reaction selectivity.

SuFEx is a new‐generation click chemistry transformation that exploits the unique properties of S−F bonds and their ability to undergo near‐perfect reactions with nucleophiles. We report here the ...first SuFEx‐based procedure for the efficient synthesis of pharmaceutically important triflones and bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfur oxyimines from sulfonyl fluorides and iminosulfur oxydifluorides, respectively. The new process involves rapid S−F exchange with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (TMSCF3) upon activation by potassium bifluoride in anhydrous DMSO. The reaction tolerates a wide selection of substrates and proceeds under mild conditions without need for chromatographic purification. A tentative mechanism is proposed involving nucleophilic displacement of S−F by the trifluoromethyl anion via a five‐coordinate intermediate. The utility of late‐stage SuFEx trifluoromethylation is demonstrated through the synthesis and selective anticancer properties of a bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfur oxyimine.
An expedient SuFEx trifluoromethylation of sulfonyl fluorides and iminosulfur oxyfluorides is described. The efficient S−F exchange with TMSCF3 is initiated by sub‐stoichiometric quantities of bifluoride ion FHF− in anhydrous DMSO. The selective anticancer properties of previously inaccessible bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfur oxyimines are also demonstrated.
Abstract
For solar system objects, ultraviolet spectroscopy has been critical in identifying sources of stratospheric heating and measuring the abundances of a variety of hydrocarbon and ...sulfur-bearing species, produced via photochemical mechanisms, as well as oxygen and ozone. To date, fewer than 20 exoplanets have been probed in this critical wavelength range (0.2–0.4

Although some analysis and interpretation methods favor the presence of clouds or potentially a combination of Na, VO, AlO, and CrH to explain the ultraviolet through optical portions of HAT-P-41b’s transmission spectrum, we find that the presence of a significant H

Although prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy diagnosed in men in the United States, little is known about inherited factors that influence its genetic predisposition. Here we ...report that germline mutations in the gene encoding 2′-5′-oligoadenylate(2-5A)-dependent RNase L (RNASEL) segregate in prostate cancer families that show linkage to the HPC1 (hereditary prostate cancer 1) region at 1q24-25 (ref. 9). We identified RNASEL by a positional cloning/candidate gene method, and show that a nonsense mutation and a mutation in an initiation codon of RNASEL segregate independently in two HPC1-linked families. Inactive RNASEL alleles are present at a low frequency in the general population. RNASEL regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis through the interferon-regulated 2-5A pathway and has been suggested to be a candidate tumor suppressor gene. We found that microdissected tumors with a germline mutation showed loss of heterozygosity and loss of RNase L protein, and that RNASEL activity was reduced in lymphoblasts from heterozyogous individuals compared with family members who were homozygous with respect to the wildtype allele. Thus, germline mutations in RNASEL may be of diagnostic value, and the 2-5A pathway might provide opportunities for developing therapies for those with prostate cancer.
