Copper-Catalyzed Synthesis of Trifluoroethylarenes from Benzylic Bromodifluoroacetates
摘要:
Trifluoroethylarenes are found in a variety of biologically active molecules, and strategies for accessing this substructure are important for developing therapeutic candidates and biological probes. Trifluoroethylarenes can be directly accessed via nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of benzylic electrophiles; however, current catalytic methods do not effectively transform electron-deficient substrates and heterocycles. To address this gap, we report a Cu-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of benzylic bromodifluoroacetates. To account for the tolerance of sensitive functional groups, we propose an inner-sphere mechanism of decarboxylation.
Novel synthesis of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl compounds from homoallylic alcohols: a copper(I) iodide-initiated trifluoromethyl–dehydroxylation process
摘要:
Benzyl, prop-2-ynyl and allyl chlorodifluoroacetates 3a, bromodifluoroacetates 3b or fluorosulfonyl-difluoroacetates 3c, when decomposed in the presence of 1 equivalent of copper(I) iodide at an appropriate temperature in dimethylformamide, gave the corresponding trifluoromethyl derivatives in good to excellent yields. The products can also be obtained directly by ester exchange of XCF2CO2Et (X = FSO2, Cl, Br) 6 and the corresponding alcohols in the presence of KF and Cul. A trifluoromethylation-dehydroxylation mechanism, initiated by Cul, is proposed.
Here, we have successfully achieved the addition of difluoroacetate radicals to 2‐aryl‐3H‐indol‐3‐ones, enabling various difluoroalkylations of C2‐tetrasubstituted 2‐aryl indolin‐3‐ones in a highly efficient and economical manner. It is worth mentioning that these difluoroalkylation compounds can be easily transformed into various derivatives under mild reaction conditions. Control experiments suggest the involvement of ethyl difluoroacetate radical species in the reaction.
