Julia–Kocienski approach to trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes
摘要:
A Julia-Kocienski approach to trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes was evaluated in the reactions of 1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl, 1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl, and 1-tbutyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl sulfones with aldehydes. Among the various conditions tested, the best yields were obtained with 1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl sulfone, in CsF-mediated, room temperature olefinations in DMSO. Aromatic aldehydes gave (trifluoromethyl)vinyl derivatives in 23-86% yields, with generally moderate stereoselectivity. Straightforward synthesis of the Julia-Kocienski reagent, and conversion to trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes under mild reaction conditions, are the advantages of this approach.

An efficient method for the iron(III) porphyrincatalyzed olefination of various aldehydes with 2,2,2‐trifluorodiazoethane (CF3CHN2) under neutral conditions has been developed. This reaction is an important supplement to the synthetic applications of CF3CHN2.
