Rhodium(i)-catalyzed 1,4-conjugate arylation toward β-fluoroalkylated electron-deficient alkenes: a new entry to a construction of a tertiary carbon center possessing a fluoroalkyl group
A Novel Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated Multi-Substituted Alkenes via Regio- and Stereoselective Heck Reaction of (<i>E</i>)-4,4,4-Trifluoro-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one
Treatment of (E)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one with various aryldiazonium salts in the presence of a palladium catalyst led to a smooth Heck reaction, furnishing α-arylated adducts in good yields.
Unexpected high regiocontrol in Heck reaction of fluorine-containing electron-deficient olefins—Highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of β-fluoroalkyl-α-aryl-α,β-unsaturated ketones
Treatment of (E)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-aryl-2-buten-1-one with various aryldiazonium salts in the presence of palladium catalyst gave the corresponding α-arylated Heck adducts with high regio- and stereoselectivity in good to high yields.
Rhodium(<scp>i</scp>)-catalyzed 1,4-conjugate arylation toward β-fluoroalkylated electron-deficient alkenes: a new entry to a construction of a tertiary carbon center possessing a fluoroalkyl group
Treatment of β-fluoroalkylated-α,β-unsaturated ketones with 1.2 equiv. of various arylboronic acids in the presence of 5 mol% of [Rh(COD)2]BF4 and 6 mol% of (S)-BINAP in toluene/H2O (v/v = 4/1) at the reflux temperature for 3 h gave the corresponding Michael adducts in high yields with over 90% enantioselectivity. Though other electron-deficient alkenes, such as vinylsulfone and vinylphosphonate, were found to be much less reactive in the rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition with arylboronic acids, the reaction of various arylstannanes toward such electron-deficient alkenes took place very smoothly to afford the corresponding adducts in high yields.
