A convenient route to aryl trifluoromethyl sulfones by fluoride-catalyzed cross-coupling of arenesulfonyl fluorides with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane and (trifluoromethyl)trimethylstannane

TLDR: Trifluoromethylsulfonyl substituted aromatic compounds 3a-d are prepared from the corresponding sulfonyl fluorides 1a-D by reacting with (trifluorsyl)trimethylsilane (or-stannane) in the presence of a base under mild conditions in high yields as mentioned in this paper.
