Abstract

Para-and meta-nitro-(pentafluorosulfanyl) benzenes react with anions of cumyl hydroperoxide in the presence of t-BuOK in liquid ammonia to form nitro- (pentafluorosulfanyl) phenols. Their reduction with hydrogen in the presence of Raney- Nickel provides amino-(pentafluorosulfanyl) phenols.
