Palladium/acetic acid-catalyzed fluoroalkylation of alkynes with monofluorinated sulfones as pronucleophiles
摘要:
A facile palladium-catalyzed fluoroalkylation of alkynes with monofluorinated sulfones in the presence of acetic acid has been achieved. By using different alpha-substituted fluoro(phenyisulfonyl)methane derivatives, a variety of allylated monofluoromethyl compounds were obtained with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Substrate scope and limitation were also examined, and it was found that the reaction was amenable to both 1-aryl-substituted propynes and 3-aryl-substituted propynyl ethers. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

A highly regioselective palladium-catalyzedallylic alkylation of fluorobis(phenylsulfonyl)methane has been studied. Using different allylic carbonates, a variety of terminal mono-fluoromethylated compounds were achieved in 85–99% yields with high regioselectivities.
