Pd-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation of CF3-Containing Esters with Three Electron-Withdrawing Groups
摘要:
Tsuji-Trost reaction (Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation) of CF3-containing esters with three electron-withdrawing groups is reported. The reactions with methyl bis(trifluoromethyl) acetate and dimethyl ( trifluoromethyl) malonate were carried out with low-loading catalysts of Pd(0) and XPhos at ambient temperature in THF, giving the products in high yields. This method efficiently overcomes the beta-defluorination, which is hard to control in the chemical transformation of alpha-trifluoromethyl carbanions, and provides versatile fluorinated compounds with quaternary carbon centers, which are highly demanded in drug discovery.

instances of the Claisen rearrangement are demonstrated with allyl vinyl ethers in which the vinyl segment is heavily substituted with negative groups. With fluoro, fluoroalkyl, chloro and alkoxy as negative substituents, these reactions proceed with unusual ease at 25–100°. A related isomerization of a propargyl vinyl ether to an allenyl ketone is also described.
