Trialkoxysulfuranes la, lb, and lc are synthesized. Their reactions with trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic) acid give, respectively, triflate esters 2a and 2b and dialkoxysulfonium triflate 10c, the first isolated dialkoxysulfonium salt. From oxy-gen-18 labeling studies and relative rates of reactions, a mechanism involving rate-determining formation of high energy fluo-rinated carbonium ions, in an ionization reaction involving a sultine leaving group, is proposed for the formation of triflate es-ters 2a and 2b. Comparisons with other sulfuraneand alkoxysulfonium chemistry are advanced.Interesting differences between the reactions of dialkoxy-and trialkoxysulfuranes with bifunctional reagents have re-cently been reported. 1 Here we describe the reactions of tri-fluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) with several trial-koxysulfuranes and constrast this to the alkoxysulfonium ion formation seen in the reactions of triflic acid with acyclic2 and cyclic3 dialkoxysulfuranes. While alkoxysulfonium salts can also easily be prepared by alkylation of sulfoxides, 4 dialkoxysulfonium ions have only recently been detected in solution5 as thermally unstable fluorosulfonates or as triflates stable in the presence of a high concentration of methyl triflate. Here we report the first isolation of a dialkoxysulfonium saltand the mechanism of decomposition of other dialkoxysulfonium ions postulated to be intermediates in reactions of trialkoxysul-furanes with triflic acid.
