Protonic initiation is also the end result of a large number of other initiating systems. Strong acids are generated in situ by a variety of different chemistries (6). These include initiation by carbenium ions, eg, trityl or diazonium salts (151) by an electric current in the presence of a quartenary ammonium salt (152) by halonium, triaryl sulfonium, and triaryl selenonium salts with uv irradiation (153—155) by mercuric perchlorate, nitrosyl hexafluorophosphate, or nitryl hexafluorophosphate (156) and by interaction of free radicals with certain metal salts (157). Reports of "new" initiating systems are often the result of such secondary reactions. Other reports suggest standard polymerization processes with perhaps novel anions. These latter include (Tf)4Al (158) heteropoly acids, eg, tungstophosphate anion (159,160) transition-metal-based systems, eg, Pt (161) or rare earths (162) and numerous systems based on tri flic acid (158,163—166). Coordination polymerization of THF may be in a different class (167). 

NMR spectroscopy is ideal for detecting charged fluorinated intermediates and has been applied to the study of increasingly stable carbocation and carbanion species. Olah [164, 165] has generated stable fluorocarbocations m SbFj/SOjClF at low temperatures The relatively long-lived perfluoro-rerr-butyl anion has been prepared as both the cesium and tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium (TAS) salts by several groups [166, 167, 168], Chemical shifts of fluonnated carbocations and carbanions are listed m Table 23.

A stereoconvergent reaction without any correlation between the geometry of the enolate and simple diastereoselectivity occurs when fluoride ions are used to induce an aldol addition of enolsilanes to aldehydes. For example, both a 99 1 and a 9 91 mixture of the following (Z)/( )-enolsilane lead predominantly to the formation of the. un-adduct in a highly selective manner, when the addition is mediated by tris(diethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsili-conate27,28. 

Tris(4-bromophenyl)ammoniumyl hexachloroantimonate (TBPA) differs from the other promoters in that its cation is a radical, and as such produces radical cationic sulfonium ions as glycosylating species from thioglycosides.85 The use of this promoter arose from earlier work on the electrochemical generation of 5-glycosyl radical cations as glycosylating species. 

Several approaches have been tried in order to facilitate the conversion process and lower the conversion temperatures, e. g. by using appropriate sulfonium groups (tetrahydrothiophene derivatives) and/or different counter ions. With chloride as a counter ion [80], the synthesis of 2,5-dimethoxy-PPV can be performed at room temperature starting from the corresponding dimethylsulfon-ium polyelectrolyte precursor. 

It was found that treatment of a mixture of 120 and 121 with tris(diethylamino-sulfonium) trimethyldifluorosilicate [TASF(Et)] resulted in smooth addition-elimination to the naphthoquinone to form the y-alkylation product 125 (85 %). TASF(Et) is a convenient source of soluble, anhydrous fluoride ion [47]. It is believed that exposure of 121 to TASF(Et) results in fluoride transfer to generate a hypervalent silicate anion, as depicted in structure 124. The transfer of fluoride between TASF(Et) and 121 may be driven by stabilization of the anionic species 124 by delocalization of the carbon-silicon bond into the LUMO of the unsaturated ketone. 1,4-Addition-elimination of this species to the naphthoquinone 120 would then form the observed product. 

Fluoride ion catalyzes the hydrosilylation of both alkyl and aryl aldehydes to silyl ethers that can be easily hydrolyzed to the free alcohols by treatment with 1 M hydrogen chloride in methanol.320 The most effective sources of fluoride are TBAF and tris(diethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate (TASF). Somewhat less effective are CsF and KF. Solvent effects are marked. The reactions are facilitated in polar, aprotic solvents such as hexamethylphosphortriamide (HMPA) or 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(l //)-pyrirnidinone (DMPU), go moderately well in dimethylformamide, but do not proceed well in either tetrahydrofuran or dichloromethane. The solvent effects are dramatically illustrated in the reaction of undecanal and dimethylphenylsilane to produce undecyloxyphenyldimethylsi-lane. After one hour at room temperature with TBAF as the source of fluoride and a 10 mol% excess of silane, yields of 91% in HMPA, 89% in DMPU, 56% in dimethylformamide, 9% in tetrahydrofuran, and only 1% in dichloromethane are obtained (Eq. 164).320...

Scheme 5.1 Mechanism of thioglycoside activation (a) by thiophiles X1 such as /V-bromosuccinimicle (NBS), 11,12 methyl triflate,13 dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate (DMTST),14 phenylselenyl triflate (PhSeOTf),17,18 iV-iodosuccinimide/triflic acid (MS/TfOH),19 20 and iodonium di-sym-collidine perchlorate (IDCP)21 (b) by tris(4-bromophenyl)ammoniumyl hexachloroantimonate (TBPA,+)25 and (c) via anomeric sulfoxides.26 The stereochemical outcome of these glycosylations follows the same general trends as with many other glycosyl donor/promoter combinations (m-CPBA = mcta-chloroperbenzoic acid).

Sulfenyl fluorides are extremely unstable and therefore only few perhalosulfenyl fluorides have so far been reported122. The formal addition of the elements of methanesulfenyl fluoride to carbon-carbon double bonds has been obtained123 by a one-pot reaction with dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium tetrafluoroborate and triethylammonium tris(hydrofluo-ride). With this system also the addition to double bonds is highly stereoselective, at least... 

Finally, in contrast to the reactions reported above, 49 reacts131 with dimethyl(methyl-thio)sulfonium fluoroborate (DMTSF) and triethylamine tris(hydrofluoride) in dichlorome-thane to give only 5% of the 1,2-addition product 122. The main products, present in 73 27 ratio, are the exo-exo and endo-exo adducts 123 and 124, formed by exclusive exo attack of the electrophile on the double bond, followed by transannular -participation in the intermediate bridged cation and final addition of fluoride to the nortricyclic cation from both the exo or endo side (equation 120).

It is probable that a primary reason for the lower stability of complexes formed between dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 and cations larger than the optimum size (e.g. Cs+) is that these cations are too large to "fit into the ligand cavity. On the other hand, as cation size decreases from that affording maximum stability, the hydration energy of the cation becomes predominant and little or no reaction is found, as in the case of Ca2+. Very large cations such as di, tri, and tetramethylammo-nium and trimethyl sulfonium do not appear to form complexes wi h dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 in aqueous solution (4). Also, tetramethyl-ammonium ion (radius = 3.47 A (30)) complexes less strongly (log K =... 

Group transfer polymerization (GTP) requires either a nucleophilic or Lewis acid catalyst. Bifluoride (HF2) and fluoride ions, supplied by soluble reagents such as tris(dimethylamino)-sulfonium bifluoride, [(CH3)2N]3SHF2, and (w-C NF, are the most effective nucleophilic catalysts, although other nucleophiles (CN , acetate, p-nitrophenolate) are also useful. Zinc... 

Control of the side reactions is achieved through two factors (1) reversible complexation of the anionic propagating species XXVII by the silyl ketene acetal polymer chain ends XXVI maintains the concentration of the anionic propagating species at a low concentration and (2) the bulky counterion W+ (e.g., tetra-ra-huty I ammonium, tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium) decreases the reactivity of the anionic propagating centers toward the terminating side reactions.

This method has been used to prepare several different tris(dialkyl-amino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicates, including salts with greater organic solubility such as the tris(diethylamino)sulfonium and tris(pyrrolid1ne)sulfon1um2 difluorotrimethylsilicates. The tris(dimethyl-amino)sulfonium salt, however, is highly crystalline and thus has an advantage 1n ease of preparation and purification over these other salts. 

Unactivated aryl iodides undergo the conversion Arl — ArCHj when treated with tris(diethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate and a palladium catalyst.131 A number of methods, all catalyzed by palladium complexes, have been used to prepare unsymmetrical biaryls (see also 3-16). In these methods, aryl bromides or iodides are coupled with aryl Grignard reagents,152 with arylboronic acids ArB(OH)2,153 with aryltin compounds Ar-SnR3,154 and with arylmercury compounds.155 Unsymmetrical binaphthyls were synthesized by photochemically stimulated reaction of naphthyl iodides with naphthoxide ions in an SrnI reaction.156 Grignard reagents also couple with aryl halides without a palladium catalyst, by the benzyne mechanism.157 OS VI, 916 65, 108 66, 67.
