Cross-Coupling of [2-Aryl-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl](trimethyl)silanes with Aryl Halides
摘要:
The synthesis of arylCF(2)CF(2)SiMe(3) and their reactivity in cross-coupling reactions with aryl iodides and aryl bromides to afford a range of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-1,2-aryl-ethanes is reported. The use of pyridine as an alternative to phenanthroline, and the ability to carry out the reaction at 60 degrees C or room temperature are the key features of this Cu-Ag mediated cross-coupling methodology. The chemistry is compatible with (hetero)aryl halides, offering a platform to develop products of interest in material and medicinal chemistry.
Synthesis of α-Halo-α,α-difluoromethyl Ketones by a Trifluoroacetate Release/Halogenation Protocol
摘要:
Three series of alpha-halo-alpha,alpha-difluoromethyl ketones are prepared from highly alpha-fluorinated gem-dials by exploiting the facile release of trifluoroacetate, followed by immediate trapping of the liberated alpha,alpha-difluoroenolate with an electrophilic chlorine, bromine, or iodine source. The products are typically isolated in good yields, even in the case of sensitive, alpha-iodo-alpha,alpha-difluoromethyl ketones. Also, we demonstrate that an alpha-iodo-alpha,alpha-difluoromethyl ketone will participate in a copper-promoted reaction to forge a new carbon-carbon bond.
Copper-mediated radical cyclization of naphthalenyl iododifluoromethyl ketones with olefins was successfully developed to generate a series of unprecedented gem-difluorodihydrophenanthrenones, especially 2,2-difluoro-3,4-dihydrophenanthren-1(2H)-one derivatives. This strategy features the use of cheap copper powder and excellent regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity, thus providing a facile approach
