170. Direct formation of α-fluorosulfones from sulfoxides by reaction with elemental fluorine has recently been reported. However, whether this reaction can be considered an "electrophilic" fluorination of sulfoxides is questionable. See: (a) Toyota, A.; Nishimura, A.; Kaneko, C. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 4687,
