The directed difluoroacetamidation of unactivated arenes and heteroarenes with bromodifluoroacetamides via visible-light photoredox catalysis has been efficiently achieved at room temperature. Broad utility of this transformation is presented, including electronically deficient heteroaromatic and aromatic systems. The mechanistic pathway of the difluoroacetamidation was discussed based on photoluminescence
A highly efficient intramolecular selective aryl migration/desulfonylation of 2-bromo-N-aryl-N-(arenesulfonyl)amide via visiblelight-inducedphotoredoxcatalysis has been accomplished. This approach allows for the construction of a variety of multisubstituted N,2-diarylacetamide under mild reaction conditions.
Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Functionalized Difluoromethyl Bromides and Chlorides with Aryl Boronic Acids: A General Method for Difluoroalkylated Arenes
Transition‐metal‐catalyzed difluoroalkylation of aromatics remains challenging despite the importance of difluoroalkylated arenes in medicinal chemistry. Herein, the first successful example of nickel‐catalyzed difluoroalkylation of aryl boronic acids is described. The reaction allows access to a variety of functionalized difluoromethyl bromides and chlorides, and paves the way to highly cost‐efficient
Treatment of α-chloro-α,α-difluorotoluene and α-chloro-α,α-difluoroanisole with chlorotrimethylsilane in the presence of magnesium in DMF led to their corresponding trimethylsilyl derivatives. These compounds are able to transfer their fluorinated group to various electrophilic substrates (carbonyl compounds, disulfides, phenyl isocyanate).
A nickel-catalyzed Negishi coupling of bromodifluoroacetamides with arylzinc reagents has been developed. This reaction allows access to difluoromethylated aromatic compounds containing a variety of aryl groups and amide moieties. Furthermore, highly effective transformation of the functionalized difluoromethyl group (-(CF2CONRR2)-R-1) was realized via microwave-assisted reduction under mild conditions. The notable features of this strategy are its generality and its use of a low-cost nickel catalyst and ligand; thus, this reaction provides a facile method for applications in drug discovery and development.
