Complete Reversal in Regioselectivity in the Baeyer−Villiger Reaction of an α-CF3-Ketone and Theoretical Rationale for Axial Orientation of Sterically Demanding CF3 Group at the Transition State
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]The regioselectivity of the Baeyer-Villiger reaction of alpha-CF3-ketone is completely reversed from that in alpha-F-eq-ketone. Theoretical study rationalized that the reaction proceeds with the sterically demanding CF3 group in an axial orientation by strong dipole interaction. The guiding principle that strong dipole interaction can overcome steric repulsion as a determining factor not only in regio- but also in stereocontrol is proposed.
An electrophilictrifluoromethylation of ketene silyl acetals (KSAs) by hypervalent iodine reagents 1 and 2 has been developed. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions in the presence of a catalytic amount of trimethylsilyl bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (up to 2.5 mol %) as a Lewis acid providing a direct access to a variety of secondary, tertiary, and quaternaryα-trifluoromethyl esters

A facile and efficient method for the α‐trifluoromethylation of carbonylcompounds and enolsilanes has been accomplished through application of a photoredox catalysis strategy. A one‐flask procedure for the direct α‐trifluoromethylation and α‐perfluoroalkylation of ketone, amide, and ester substrates as well as silylketene acetals is described (see scheme).
