Electrosynthesis of β-trifluoromethylated O,S-acetal and α-(trifluoromethyl)acrylate derivatives from 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl phenyl sulfide using a fluoride ion mediator
摘要:
Anodic oxidation of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl phenyl sulfide 1 was carried out in methanol containing Et3N . 3HF to provide the corresponding alpha-methoxylated product 2 in good yield while this oxidation was performed in acetonitrile instead of methanol to give ethyl beta-phenylthio-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)acrylate 3 selectively. In both cases, halide salts other than the fluoride salt were not effective at all. Nucleophilic substitution of 2 with carbon nucleophiles such as arenes and allylsilane was successfully carried out in the presence of TiCl4 and the carbon nucleophiles were introduced into the beta-position to the CF3 group in moderate yields.
