Conversion of .alpha.-Keto Esters into .beta.,.beta.-Difluoro-.alpha.-keto Esters and Corresponding Acids: A Simple Route to a Novel Class of Serine Protease Inhibitors
摘要:
The preparation of a series of beta,beta-difluoro-alpha-keto esters and corresponding acids RCF(2)COCO(2)R' (R = Me, Et; i-Pr, Bn, and Ph; R' = Et and H), designed as potential inhibitors of serine proteases, is described. The standard procedure developed consists in the initial formation of an alpha,alpha-difluoro ester from an alpha-keto ester, followed by a simple four-step sequence involving the synthesis of hemiacetal, cyanohydrin, and alpha-hydroxy ester difluorinated intermediates. This method provides an easy route to beta,beta-difluoro-alpha-keto esters and corresponding acids, via ''formal'' insertion of a difluoromethylene group between the R substituent and the alpha-carbonyl group of a generic alpha-keto ester.

The 19F-NMR spectrum, thermal stability and reactivity of (methyl difluoroacetate)copper reagent were found to differ remarkably depending on the solvent (DMSO, DMF, or HMPA) used. With allylic bromide or alkynyl halide a crucial solvent effect for the coupling reactions was observed.
