[0041] In the general formula (2), Ph represents an unsubstituted phenyl group (having no substituent).

[0042] In the general formulas (1) and (2), A.sup.1 represents an aryl group which may have a substituent or a heteroaryl group which may have a substituent. In the present invention and the specification of the present application, the term aryl group which may have a substituent includes both an unsubstituted aryl group and an aryl group which has at least one substituent. Similarly, the term heteroaryl group which may have a substituent includes both an unsubstituted heteroaryl group and a heteroaryl group which has at least one substituent.

[0043] The aryl group and heteroaryl group represented by A.sup.1 only need to be such that a ring structure to which X is bonded is a ring having aromaticity, and may be a group having a condensed ring of an aryl ring or heteroaryl ring and a non-aromatic ring. For example, as the aryl group represented by A.sup.1, a monovalent group of a benzodioxane ring in which a benzene ring and a dioxane ring are condensed can be used.

[0044] When A.sup.1 is an aryl group which may have a substituent, this aryl group is not particularly limited and examples thereof include a phenyl group, a naphthyl group, an anthryl group, and a 9-fluorenyl group, and a phenyl group is particularly preferred.

[0045] An aryl group having a substituent refers to a group in which one or more, preferably 1 to 3, hydrogen atoms bonded to a carbon atom of the aryl group have been substituted with other functional groups. Similarly, a heteroaryl group having a substituent refers to a group in which one or more, preferably 1 to 3, hydrogen atoms bonded to a carbon atom of the heteroaryl group have been substituted with other functional groups. When two or more substituents are present, the substituents may be the same as or different from each other.

[0046] The substituent included in the aryl group or heteroaryl group represented by A.sup.1 is not particularly limited as long as it does not inhibit the thiotritylation of the halogen atom of the halogenated aryl compound (1). Examples of the substituent include a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a fluorinated alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, an acyl group, a hydroxy group, a carboxy group, a cyano group, a fluoroformyl group (C(O)F), an amino group, a nitro group, and a non-aromatic heterocyclic group.

Examples of the non-aromatic heterocyclic group includes a pyrrolidinyl group, a piperidinyl group, a piperazinyl group, a pyrazolidinyl group, an imidazolidinyl group, a tetrahydrofuranyl group, a 1,3-dioxolanyl group, a tetrahydrothiophenyl group, a 1,2-oxathiolanyl group, a morpholinyl group, and a tetrahydropyranyl group.

[0047] When the substituent included in the aryl group or heteroaryl group represented by A.sup.1 is an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, an acyl group, or an amino group, these substituents may further have a substituent. Examples of this substituent include the same groups as those described above. For example, A.sup.1 may be an aryl group having an unsubstituted C.sub.1-6 alkyl group as a substituent, or an aryl group having a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group in which one hydrogen atom has been substituted with a phenyl group as a substituent. Further, A.sup.1 may be an aryl group having an unsubstituted amino group as a substituent, or an aryl group having an amino group in which one or two hydrogen atoms have been substituted with a phenyl group as a substituent.

[0048] The substituent included in the aryl group and heteroaryl group represented by A.sup.1 may be protected with a protecting group.

Similarly, when the substituent is a carboxy group, this carboxy group can have a hydrogen atom substituted with a benzyl group or a tert-butyl group.

[0049] When A.sup.1 is a heteroaryl group which may have a substituent, the hetero atom in this heteroaryl group may also be protected with a protecting group. Examples of this protecting group include the same groups as those described above.

[0064] As the organic salt used as the fluorinating agent in the above oxidative fluorination reaction, a tetraalkylammonium halide (NR.sup.11.sub.4X) is particularly preferred. The NR.sup.11.sub.4X used in the above oxidative fluorination reaction is not particularly limited as long as it is a halide in which four alkyl groups are bonded to a nitrogen atom. As the halide, a chloride or a bromide is preferred, and a chloride is particularly preferred.

By recovering and fluorinating the metal such as Ag produced by the reaction, a divalent or higher valent metal fluoride such as AgF.sub.2 can be regenerated. The regenerated divalent or higher valent metal fluoride such as AgF.sub.2 can be used again in the above oxidative fluorination reaction. Fluorination of a metal such as Ag can be carried out, for example, by a conventional method such as heating in fluorine gas.

[0070] The above oxidative fluorination reaction enables the one-pot synthesis of the SF.sub.5-containing aryl compound (3) in a single step under relatively mild reaction conditions in a one-pot manner with a high yield. Further, in this oxidative fluorination reaction, a partially fluorinated product such as an SF.sub.4Cl group-containing aryl compound is not produced in most cases. For this reason, there is also an advantage that it is not necessary to isolate an SF.sub.4Cl group-containing aryl compound from the reaction product and purify the desired SF.sub.5-containing aryl compound (3).

EXAMPLES

[0071] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples.

[0072] Unless otherwise stated, all reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification.

[0073] Dried and degassed solvents were used in all reactions under argon. All reported yields refer to spectroscopically and chromatographically pure compounds unless otherwise specified.

[0074] Analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on a glass plate precoated with silica gel (layer thickness: 0.25 nm, Kiesel gel 60 F254, manufactured by Merck KGaA) and visualized with a UV lamp (254 or 365 nm) and/or an appropriate staining reagent.

[Production Example 6] Typical Production Method F for Synthesizing SF.SUB.5.-Containing Aryl Compounds

[0239] Using an aryl trityl sulfide compound as a substrate, an SF.sub.5-containing aryl compound can be synthesized by the following method.

##STR00056##

[0240] In a glove box under an argon atmosphere, NEt.sub.4Cl or NEt.sub.4Br (0.2 mmol, 2.0 equivalents), an aryl trityl sulfide compound (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equivalents), and a magnetic stirrer bar were placed in a glass vial. MeCN or DCM (0.5 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 minutes. Subsequently, AgF.sub.2 (1.0 mmol, 10.0 equivalents) was added all at once to a solution vigorously stirred at room temperature, and the vial was closed with a screw cap. Within about 1 minute, the initially black suspension turned orange and the organic layer became reddish purple. The reaction solution was stirred for 12 hours. The NMR yield was determined by adding 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene (15.5 L, 0.1 mmol) to the reaction mixture as an internal standard.

[0241] The NMR yield was determined by adding 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene (BTB, 1.0 equivalent with respect to the SF.sub.5 product) to the reaction mixture as an internal standard and filtering this reaction mixture.

[0242] The resulting mixture was injected into an NMR tube through a PTFE syringe filter, and the .sup.19F NMR signals of the SF.sub.5 and CF.sub.3 groups, respectively, were integrated. After the NMR measurement, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the crude product was purified by silica column chromatography to obtain the corresponding SF.sub.5-containing aryl compound.
