A method for electrophilic (fluoroalkyl)sulfenylation of nucleophiles by collaborative CTAB- and squaric acid-promoted deoxygenation of sulfonyl derivatives is reported. Mechanistic studies indicate that squaric acid dramatically decreased the energy barrier in the first step of deoxygenation. The mild deoxygenation process enables the reduction of a wide range of functionalized sulfonyl chlorides as well as sulfonic anhydrides. The novel method represents an operationally simple protocol using readily available reagents and exhibits broad functional group tolerance.
