• -fluorine; α-pentafluorosulfanyl aldehyde; Introduction The pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5) group is one of the few truly new functional groups to be introduced to synthetic organic chemistry in the last 100 years [1][2][3][4][5][6]. With pseudooctahedral geometry around sulfur, the SF5 group is a unique
