I / I III催化使用新型C 2对称间苯二酚衍生物进行烯烃的对映选择性催化邻位二氟化反应。通过Selectfluor氧化和添加廉价的HF-胺络合物,可以原位生成ArI III F 2物种进行催化剂转换。此过程中使用的HF:胺比率为布朗选择性酸度的区域选择性正交性提供了一个解决方案。公开了从1,1-二氟化途径(基因)向所需的1,2-二氟化途径(邻位)的选择性逆转(两个方向均> 20:1)。用电子不足的苯乙烯进行验证有助于产生古老的CF 3的手性生物等排体药物发现中普遍使用的单元(20个示例,最高94:06 er)。还使用p- TolI(高达> 95%的收率)显示了反应的非手性变体。
A geminal difluorination of alkenes based on I(I)/I(III) catalysis is disclosed, which is compatible with a range of electronically and substitutionally diverse styrenes (27 examples, up to 89% yield). Employing inexpensive p-Toll as the organocatalyst, turnover is enabled by Selectfluor-mediated oxidation to generate the ArIF2 species in situ. Extension to include alpha-substituted styrenes bearing fluorine-containing groups is disclosed and provides an expansive platform for the generation of fluorine-rich architectures.
