Abstract: The synthesis of advanced substituted 3-pentafluorosulfanylphenol/anisole was accomplished
starting from the easy to access and commercially available 3-pentafluorosulfanylphenol. These products
bear diverse substitutions such as ester, aldehyde, halogens, alcohol, nitrile and carboxylic acid and
could be in the future used as high-value building blocks for the synthesis of various scaffolds. For
our part, this intermediate had been used to synthesize a library of 2-arylindadiones substituted by a
pentafluorosulfanyl group.
