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.
