CAS 1365765-53-2, Cat. No EN300-7376553
Reagent for monofluoroalkylation

2-[(Fluoromethyl)sulfonyl]-pyridine

2-[(Fluoromethyl)sulfonyl]-pyridine is a reagent used in monofluoroalkylating methodologies, enabling the selective introduction of fluorinated groups into aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds1. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of derivatives such as 2-[(fluoroiodomethyl)sulfonyl]-pyridine, which plays a pivotal role in copper-mediated monofluoromethylation reactions2. Other important derivatives can be used in multiple transformations, including Julia-Kocienski olefination and depyridination, offering pathways to cyclomonofluoroalkenes and methylsulfones.

Synonyms: fluoromethyl 2-pyridyl sulfone; 2-((fluoromethyl)sulfonyl)pyridine
