Novel synthesis of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl compounds from homoallylic alcohols: a copper(I) iodide-initiated trifluoromethyl–dehydroxylation process
摘要:
Benzyl, prop-2-ynyl and allyl chlorodifluoroacetates 3a, bromodifluoroacetates 3b or fluorosulfonyl-difluoroacetates 3c, when decomposed in the presence of 1 equivalent of copper(I) iodide at an appropriate temperature in dimethylformamide, gave the corresponding trifluoromethyl derivatives in good to excellent yields. The products can also be obtained directly by ester exchange of XCF2CO2Et (X = FSO2, Cl, Br) 6 and the corresponding alcohols in the presence of KF and Cul. A trifluoromethylation-dehydroxylation mechanism, initiated by Cul, is proposed.
orbital of alpha,alpha-difluoroacetyl radical occurred; this caused unsuccessful cyclization. To apply the present radical reaction, the first synthesis of both enantiomers of difluoroeldanolide, analogues of the sex pheromone of the male African sugarcaneborer, has been demonstrated. Electrophysiological tests revealed that the difluorinated analogues were as active as the natural eldanolide on the

We report a safe and readily prepared reagent [1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl 2-bromo-2,2-difluoroacetate (BBDFA) for Cu-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of allylic or benzylic alcohols. An operationally simple and column-chromatography-free process to prepare BBDFA was developed and demonstrated on >100 g scale. Detailed reaction calorimetry and thermal analysis of the deoxytrifluoromethylation were performed
