An easier and quicker access to (benzenesulfonyl) difluoromethanesulfenamide reagent

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. (Benzenesulfonyl)difluoromethanesulfenamide (PhSO2-BB12H) is an interesting reagent to lead to various fluoroalkylselenotated molecules. This compound is obtained from [(benzenesulfonyl)difluoromethyl]trimethylsilane. Herein, a new process in two steps, without intermediate purifications, is described to easily synthesize this product. With this new method, preparation of PhSO2-BB12H reagent has been carried out in only 3 steps, with only one final purification and with a good overall yield.
