Fluoroallylboration−Olefination for the Synthesis of (Z)-4,4-Difluoropent-2-enoates and 5,5-Difluoro-5,6-dihydropyran-2-ones
摘要:
Horner-Wadsworth Emmons (HWE) or Still-Gennari olefination of TBS-protected 3,3-difluoro-4-hydroxy-2-ones, derived from the difluoroallylboration of aldehydes, provides the Z-isomer of 4,4,-difluoropent-2-enoates. These, upon hydrolysis, followed by Yamaguchi cyclization, afford 5,5-difluoro-4-methyl-5,6-dihydro-alpha-pyrones in high yields.
Gem-Difluorinated Homoallyl Alcohols, β-Hydroxy Ketones, and syn- and anti-1,3-Diols via γ,γ-Difluoroallylboronates
摘要:
gamma,gamma-Difluoroallylboronates have been prepared from trifluoroethanol and utilized for the allylboration of a variety of aldehydes to provide gem-difluorinated homoallylic alcohols. alpha-Chiral aldehydes were allylborated in 4:1-13:1 diastereoselectivity favoring the anti-isomer. A representative series of difluorinated hydroxyl enol ethers were converted to the corresponding alpha,alpha-difluoro-beta-hydroxy ketones. Diastereoselective reduction of one of these to either syn- and anti-1,3-diol was also studied.
Brook/Elimination/Aldol Reaction Sequence for the Direct One-Pot Preparation of Difluorinated Aldols from (Trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane and Acylsilanes
difluorinated aldols directly from Ruppert–Prakash reagent, acyltrimethylsilanes and aldehydes is reported. The process, initiated by a catalytic amount of an ammonium salt, involves the addition of (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane to the acylsilane, followed by a Brook rearrangement and elimination of a fluoride anion that promotes the subsequent aldolreaction. An efficient racemic reaction catalyzed
