Facile Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Ethyltrifluoroborates
摘要:
Organotrifluoroborates are generating increased interest because of their ease of preparation and purification and indefinite shelf life. Herein we report the preparation of organotrifluoroborates bearing functional groups that can be manipulated at different stages of the synthetic route, exploiting the inertness of their carbon-boron bonds. The alkylation of 2,2-dicyanoethyltrifluoroborate with a variety of electrophiles and of (EWG)(2)CH2 with potassium iodomethyltrifluoroborate resulted in di- and trisubstituted ethyltrifluoroborates in good to excellent yields.
