This report describes the development of a nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative reaction for the synthesis of fluoroalkyl thioethers (RFSR) from the corresponding thioesters. Readily available, inexpensive, and stable fluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (RFCO2H) serve as the fluoroalkyl (RF) source in this transformation. Stoichiometric organometallic studies reveal that RF–S bond-forming reductive elimination
本报告描述了镍催化脱羰反应的发展,用于从相应的硫酯合成氟烷基硫醚 (R F SR)。容易获得、便宜且稳定的氟代烷基羧酸 (R F CO 2 H) 作为该转化中的氟代烷基 (R F ) 源。化学计量有机金属研究表明,形成R F -S 键的还原消除是催化循环中的一个具有挑战性的步骤。这导致二苯基膦二茂铁被鉴定为该转化的最佳配体。最终,该方法应用于构建多种氟代烷基硫醚 (R F SR),其中 R = 芳基和烷基。
Electrolytic partial fluorination of organic compounds. 1. Regioselective anodic monofluorination of organosulfur compounds
Highly regioselective anodic monofluorination of various aryl and alkyl fluoroalkyl sulfides was successfully carried out, and fluorine was exclusively (aryl sulfides) or preferentially (alkyl sulfides) introduced at the position alpha to the fluoroalkyl group. Even simple alkyl phenyl sulfides devoid of an electron-withdrawing group could be anodically monofluorinated in satisfactory yields for the first time when etheral solvents were used as an electrolytic solution. A unique Pummerer-type mechanism uta fluorosulfonium ions was proposed for this anodic fluorination by comparison with anodic alpha-methoxylation previously studied.
