Halogenation of the potassium or silver salts of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)methane (CF3SO2)2CH2 and its cyclo analogues 1 with N-fluoro-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imine [(CF3SO2)2-NF], chlorine or bromine gave good yields of the corresponding α-halo disulfone (CF3SO2)2CHX and cyclo analogues 9, 10. The chemical transformation of these fluorinated α-halo-disulfones are described.
