Radical trifluoromethylation of ketone Li enolates
摘要:
It has generally been believed that highly basic Li enolates cannot be applied as substrates for radical trifluoromethylation due to defluorination of the alpha-CF3 product. However, Li enolates can be in fact employed for radical trifluoromethylation. Moreover, the reaction is extremely fast and the minimum reaction time is only similar to 1 s. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

The treatment of silylenolethers of ketones with CF3–I and Et2Zn in the presence of RhCl(PPh3)3 in DME gave α-trifluoromethyl ketones in good yields. The reaction can be widely applicable to silylenolethers derived from aliphatic or aromatic ketones. In the absence of the rhodium catalyst, the reaction was very slow and the yields were quite poor.
[reaction: see text] The radical trifluoromethylation of ketonesilylenolethers gave alpha-CF(3) ketones in good yields with wide scope of the ketonic substrates including acyclic ketones and cyclopentanone. The use of dialkylzinc to activate the silylenolethers is the key to the efficient radical trifluoromethylation.

Trifluoromethylation of ketone silyl enol ethers is found to be significantly accelerated by late-transition-metal catalysts and dialkylzincs to give α-trifluoromethyl ketones in good yields. Addition of dialkylzinc is the key to the high yielding α-trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds.
