Au(I)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroamination of the Fluorinated <i>N′</i>-Aryl-<i>N</i>-Propargyl Amidines: Mild Conditions for the Synthesis of 2-Fluoroalkyl Imidazole Derivatives
The gold(I)-catalyzedsynthesis of 2-fluoroalkyl imidazolederivatives was developed. Catalyzed by gold(I), propargyl amidines underwent a 5-exo-dig cyclization to afford 2-fluoroalkyl-5-methyl imidazoles. Also, 2-fluoroalkyl imidazole-5-carbaldehydes were obtained in the presence of NIS. A mechanism investigation manifested the probable process and the carbonyl oxygen derived from O2.
Gold(I)-Catalyzed Aminohalogenation of Fluorinated<i>N</i>′-Aryl-<i>N</i>-Propargyl Amidines for the Synthesis of Imidazole Derivatives under Mild Conditions
A procedure for the synthesis of fluorinated imidazolederivatives from propargyl amidines has been developed. Undergold(I) catalysis, propargyl amidines were converted into 5‐fluoromethyl imidazoles in the presence of Selectfluor through a cascade cyclization/fluorination process. In contrast, imidazole‐5‐carbaldehydes were obtained in high yields when N‐iodosuccinimide (NIS) was used as the halogenating

A simple and efficient method of iodine-mediated aminohalogenation-oxidation of fluorinated N’-propargyl amidines to synthesize 2-fluoroalkyl imidazole-5-carbaldehydes was developed. This method showed good functional group compatibility and wide substrate scope, as variety of substituted substrates proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields. And this method was also suitable to unfluorinated substrates. Fluorinated allyl amidines used as starting materials, aminohalogenated products were obtained as the final products. Studies on the mechanism indicated that the carbonylation proceeded via 5-iodomethyl imidazole intermediate, and the carbonyl oxygen atom was demonstrated that originated from dioxygen.
The first example of Bi(iii)-catalyzed aminooxygenation was developed to synthesize 2-fluoroalkyl imidazole-5-carbaldehydes that would decarbonylate efficiently in the presence of KOt-Bu.
Catalyzed by ligand free Pd(OAc)2, 2,5-disubstituted imidazole was prepared in good yield by the reaction of fluorinated propargyl amidines with iodoarene. Mechanistic studies indicated that this transformation occurs through a nitropalladation–reductive elimination pathway.
