Transition-Metal-Free Trifluoromethylthiolation of N-Heteroarenes
摘要:
AbstractA general and efficient methodology for the direct transition metal free trifluoromethylthiolation of a broad range of biologically relevant N‐heteroarenes is reported employing abundant sodium chloride as the catalyst. This method is operationally simple, exhibits high functional group tolerance, and does not require protecting groups.
The copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylthiolation of pyrroles with a trifluoromethanesulfonyl hypervalentiodoniumylide under mild conditions has been achieved. A broad set of pyrroles could be transformed to the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction mechanism is hypothesized.
regioselective trifluoromethylthiolation of indole derivatives was achieved under reductive conditions with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride as the readily available source of electrophilic SCF3 and a phosphine as the reducing agent. It is a straightforward process free from any metal and also applicable for the trifluoromethylthiolation of other azaarenes, enamines, and enoxysilanes.
