A Unified Strategy for the Synthesis of Difluoromethyl- and Vinylfluoride-Containing Scaffolds
摘要:
Here, we report a general method for the synthesis of quaternary and tertiary difluoromethylated compounds and their vinylfluoride analogues. The strategy, which relies on a two-step sequence featuring a C-selective electrophilic difluoromethylation and either a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative protonation or a Krapcho decarboxylation, is practical, scalable, and high yielding. Considering the generality of the method and the attractive properties offered by the difluoromethyl group, this approach provides a valuable tool for late-stage functionalization and drug development.

A diastereoselective arylative carbocyclization of pro-nucleophile-linked allenes with aryl and heteroaryl halides to provide spirocyclic lactam products with moderate to high diastereoselectivities and good yields under Pd(0) catalysis is reported. Being operationally simple and tolerant of multiple points of diversity, this complexity building reaction cascade, in which two new carbon-carbon bonds and one new heterocyclic ring are created, should be of high value in both complex natural product synthesis as well as compound library synthesis.
