A novel fluorine–metal exchange reaction of pentafluorocrotonate with organocuprate. Generation of β-metallated tetrafluorocrotonate and its cross-coupling reaction
Fluorine–copper exchange reaction of α,β,γ,γ,γ-pentafluorocrotonates with organocuprates: Generation and cross-coupling reactions of β-metallated α,γ,γ,γ-tetrafluorocrotonates
Reaction of α,β,γ,γ,γ-pentafluorocrotonates with organocuprates derived from organomagnesium or zinc reagents in THF at −78 °C for 1 h took place smoothly to generate β-metallated intermediate, of which hydrolysis gave the β-reduction product in good yield. The fluorinated vinylcopper intermediate formed by fluorine–copper exchange was found to be stable at low temperature due to the strong electron-withdrawing
A novel fluorine–metal exchange reaction of pentafluorocrotonate with organocuprate. Generation of β-metallated tetrafluorocrotonate and its cross-coupling reaction
Fluorineâmetal exchange reaction of 2,3,4,4,4-pentafluorocrotonates with organocuprate derived from Grignard reagent and CuCN takes place efficiently to generate the β-metallated tetrafluorocrotonate intermediate, which reacts with various electrophiles to give β-substituted 2,4,4,4-tetrafluorocrotonates.
