Asymmetric synthesis of oxygen- and nitrogen-substituted difluoromethylene products
摘要:
1,1-Difluoroalkyl sulfinylmethyl ketones 3 are synthesized in enantiomerically pure form through acylation of (+)-(R)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide (1) with alpha,alpha-difluorocarboxylates 2. These ketones have been reduced with complete diastereoselection to give the corresponding alcohols. Removal of the auxiliary sulfinyl group and further elaborations afforded enantiomerically pure 2-(benzyloxy)-3,3-difluoro alcohols, esters, oximes, hydroxylamines, and nitriles.
The selective transformation of enolates into mono- and difluorinated carbonyl compounds can be performed in a one-pot procedure using N-F-sultam 1. The yields and the selectivity of the fluorination strongly depend on the counterion of the enolate and the acidity of the protons alpha to the carbonyl group.
