Abstract

A convenient, one-step synthetic approach to fluoroalkyl-substituted 1,3-oxathiolanones and benzoxathianones, based on readily accessible N-acyl and N-sulfonyl imidoyl chlorides, has been developed. The novel heterocyclization involves previously unknown participation of the imidoyl carbon atom as a bifunctional 1,1-electrophile.
