Use of fluoroform as a source of difluorocarbene in the synthesis of N -CF 2 H heterocycles and difluoromethoxypyridines
摘要:
Fluoroform is used as a source of difluorocarbene to convert various N-, O-, and C-nucleophiles to their difluoromethylated derivatives. Imidazole, benzimidazole, benztriazole, hydroxypyridines, and their derivatives underwent reaction at moderate temperatures and atmospheric pressure, using potassium hydroxide as base in a two-phase (water/acetonitrile) process to provide moderate to good yields of the respective products. Nitrophenols required addition of a co-solvent (methanol) to obtain good yields of products. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Difluoromethylation on sp(3) carbon of various nitrile compounds with lithium base and fluoroform (CF3H), which is an ideal difluoromethylating reagent, is shown to provide the alpha-difluoromethylated nitrile products with an all-carbon quaternary center in moderate to high yields. The Ruppert-Prakash reagent (CF3TMS) is also applicable to the reaction, affording the alpha-siladifluoromethylated nitrile products, which can be utilized for sequential carbon carbon bond-forming reactions. These reactions using 1.1 equiv of lithium base, 1.5-2.0 equiv of CF3H or CF3TMS, and easily accessible nitrile derivatives are completed in only a few minutes, resulting in the formation of valuable difluoromethylated compounds.

Selected C-H acids react with difluorocarbene generated from chlorodifluoromethane with concentrated aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and a catalyst, benzyltriethylammonium chloride (TEBAC) in benzene or THF affording C-difluoromethyl substituted derivatives. This process is restricted to C-H acids of pK(a) congruent to 16.3-19.1. The observed facts are rationalized. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
