The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(10)FN(3)O(3)S, consists of an indole unit and a phenylsulfonyl unit that are disposed in an approximately trans orientation relative to the N-N single bond. Two mol-ecules are arranged about a center of inversion, forming a hydrazide-carbonyl N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimer; the dimers are linked by an indole-sulfonyl N-H⋯O hydrogen bond into a ribbon.

Highly efficient stereoselective 1,4-addition of racemic -fluoronitro(phenylsulfonyl)methane (FNSM) as a fluoromethyl pronucleophile to , -unsaturated ketones using a wide range of chiral organobifunctional catalysts under moderate conditions in the absence of an additional base has been achieved. A series of catalysts was screened for the enantioselective addition of FNSM to chalcones and the ...

Pregeneration of fluoro(phenylsulfonyl)methyl anion (PhSO(2)CHF(-)) paves the way for the efficient and highly stereoselective monofluoromethylation of (R)-N-tert-butylsulfinyl ketimines. The stereocontrol mode of the present diastereoselective monofluoromethylation of ketimines is different from the previously known nucleophilic fluoroalkylation of (R)-N-tert-butylsulfinyl aldimines, which sug...
