Thionyl fluoride (SOF2) was first isolated in 1896, but there have been less than 10 subsequent reports of its use as a reagent for organic synthesis. This is partly due to a lack of facile, lab-scale methods for its generation. Herein we report a novel protocol for theex situgeneration of SOF2and subsequent demonstration of its ability to access both aliphatic and aromatic acyl fluorides in 55-98% isolated yields under mild conditions and short reaction times. We further demonstrate its aptitude in amino acid couplings, with a one-pot, column-free strategy that affords the corresponding dipeptides in 65-97% isolated yields with minimal to no epimerization. The broad scope allows for a wide range of protecting groups and both natural and unnatural amino acids. Finally, we demonstrated that this new method can be used in sequential liquid phase peptide synthesis (LPPS) to afford tri-, tetra-, penta-, and decapeptides in 14-88% yields without the need for column chromatography. We also demonstrated that this new method is amenable to solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), affording di- and pentapeptides in 80-98% yields.

A new bio-inspired approach is reported for amide and peptide synthesis using α-amino esters that possess a potential activating group (PAG) at the ester residue. To activate the ester functionality under mild metal-free conditions, we exploited the facile dearomatization of phenols with hypervalent iodine(iii) reagents. Using a pyridine-hydrogen fluoride complex, highly reactive acyl fluoride intermediates can be successfully generated, thereby allowing for the smooth formation of sterically hindered amides and peptides from bulky amines and α-amino esters, respectively.
Gram-Scale Preparation of Acyl Fluorides and Their Reactions with Hindered Nucleophiles

A series of acyl fluorides was synthesized at 100 mmol scale using phase-transfer-catalyzed halogen exchange between acyl chlorides and aqueous bifluoride solution. The convenient procedure consists of vigorous stirring of the biphasic mixture at room temperature, followed by extraction and distillation. Isolated acyl fluorides (usually 7-20 g) display excellent purity and can be transformed into sterically hindered amides and esters when treated with lithium amide bases and alkoxides under mild conditions.
