Trifluoromethylated allyl alcohols: acid-promoted reactions with arenes and unusual ‘dimerization’
摘要:
An unusual 'dimerization' of CF3-allyl alcohols [ArCH=CHCH(OH)CF3] under the action of anhydrous FeCl3 was found to give fluorinated indanes in 62-90% yields via the formation of intermediate allyl cations. Reactions of CF3-allyl alcohols with arenes (Ar'H) led to CF3-alkenes [Ar(Ar')CHCH=CHCF3] in 48-75% yields. The mechanisms of the transformations are discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Reaction of 4-aryl-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-ols [CF3-allyl alcohols, ArCH=CHCH(OH)CF3] with arenes under activation activation with anhydrous FeCl3 or FSO3H was studied. We found that the transformation led to trifluoromethylated alkenes [Ar(Ar')CHCH=CHCF3] or 1-trifluoromethylated indanes (CF3-indanes). The formation of these two types of reaction products strongly depends on the nudeophilicity of the starting arene and the electrophilicity of cationic intermediates generated from CF3-allyl alcohols under reaction conditions. Benzene, anisole, veratrole, and ortho-xylene lead exclusively to CF3-alkenes with an E-configuration. More pi-donating polyrnethylated arenes (pseudocumene, mesitylene) afford only CF3-indanes with a predominantly cis-orientation of substituents at positions 1 and 3 of the indane ring. Meta- and para-xylenes show an intermediate behavior; they may form both CF3-alkenes and/or CF3-indanes. The mechanisms of the investigated transformations are discussed.
