Stable gem-trifluoromethyl anionic σ-complexes based on 1,3,5-tris(sulfonyl)benzene derivatives and their transformations
摘要:
A convenient synthetic procedures is described to obtain gem-trifluoromethyl anionic a-complexes of 1,3,5-tris(fluorosulfonyl)benzene, 1,3,5-tris(beta,beta,beta-trifluoroethoxysulfonyl)benzene, 1,3,5-tris(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)benzene as well as of 1,3,5-trinotrobenzene. Conditions for easy oxidation of these adducts into corresponding 2,4,6-tris(substituted)benzotrifluorides have been found. It is shown that the latter add trifluoromethyl anion to the 1 and 3 positions of the aromatic ring forming new anionic sigma-complexes in different ratio. Structures and relative stabilities of the anionic adducts are discussed based on RI-MP2 quantum chemical calculations. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. Al! rights reserved.
