Lanthanide Triflate-Catalyzed Preparation of β,β-Difluorohomopropargyl Alcohols in Aqueous Media. Application to the Synthesis of 4,4-Difluoroisochromans
摘要:
An indium-mediated Barbier-type reaction of difluoropropargyl bromide with several aldehydes in aqueous media was enhanced by a catalytic amount of a lanthanide triflate (5 mol %). The reaction gave the corresponding beta,beta-difluorohomopropargyl alcohols with high regioselectivity. The [2 + 2 + 2] alkyne cyclotrimerization of beta,beta-difluorohomopropargyl alcohols with monosubstituted acetylenes produced 4,4-difluoroisochromans in good yields with moderate regioselectivity.

Zn (0.9 equiv) in combination with catalytic amounts of In (0.1 equiv) and I-2 (0.1 equiv) was found to effect the reaction of several difluoropropargyl bromide derivatives with aldehydes to produce gem-difluorohomopropargyl alcohols in aqueous media under conditions suitable for large scale applications.
