A method of producing fluorinated organic compounds such as organic sulphur pentafluorides. The method includes the steps of converting a compound such as R?1-S-S-R2 into R1SF5¿ by reaction with an inert solvent of R?1-S-S-R2¿ and elemental fluorine. R?1 and R2¿ may be for example selected from aryl, heteroaryl, aliphatic or alycyclic groups. |
