Facile synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,1-diaryl-2,2-difluoroethenes via stepwise coupling of 1,1-dibromo-2,2-difluoroethenes
摘要:
Unsymmetrical 1,1-diaryl-2,2-difluoroethenes were synthesized from 1,1-dibromo-2,2-difluoroethene, which is commercially available, via the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in a stepwise fashion. Suitable ligands for each coupling process were used to achieve selective synthesis of these diaryldifluoroethenes. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
We established a straightforward electrochemical dihalogenation (F, Cl, and Br) process for gem‐difluoroalkenes. This reaction exhibits a broad functional group tolerance and has been effectively utilized in the construction of complex molecules. The subsequent synthetic transformations of the products have highlighted the adaptable nature of the dihalogenated compounds, demonstrating their potential application in drug discovery and the investigation of innovative materials. The effective utilization of the dihalogenated product for 18F‐labeling represents a novel approach in generating highly potent 18F‐labeled tracers.
