A convenient and effective method for the preparation of chiral trifluoromethylated 1,2-dihydroxypropanephosphonates based on a chemoenzymatic approach was described. Ethyl trifluoromethylacetate was reacted with anion of methylphosphonate to give 2-oxo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanephosphonate and its hydrates, 2,2-dihydroxy-3,3,3-trifluoropropanephosphonates, which are reduced with sodium boronhydride affording 2-hydroxy-3,3,3-trifluoropropanephosphonates. The product thus obtained was then transferred to corresponding 1,2-vinyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropanephosphonate and followed by 1,2-dihydroxylation via potassium permanganate treatment. Enzymatic kinetic resolution of the resultant racemate by CALB or IM provided optically active 1,2-dihydroxy-3,3,3- trifluoropropanephosphonate with satisfactory chemical and enantiomeric yield.

Photodriven oxidations of alkanes in trifluoroacetic acid using commercial and synthesized Fe(III) sources as catalyst precursors and dioxygen (O2) as the terminal oxidant are reported. The reactions produce alkyl esters and occur at ambient temperature in the presence of air, and catalytic turnover is observed for the oxidation of methane in a pure O2 atmosphere. Under optimized conditions, approximately 17% conversion of methane to methyl trifluoroacetate at more than 50% selectivity is observed. It is demonstrated that methyl trifluoroacetate is stable under catalytic conditions, and thus overoxidized products are not formed through secondary oxidation of methyl trifluoroacetate.

The selective catalytic oxidative monofunctionalization of gaseous alkanes found in natural gas and commodity chemicals such as benzene and cyclohexane is an important objective in the field of carbon-hydrogen bond activation. Past research has demonstrated the possibility of stoichiometric oxyesterification of such substrates using lead(IV) trifluoroacetate (PbIV(TFA)4) as oxidant, which is driven by the high 2-electron redox potential of lead(IV). However, this redox potential then precludes reoxidation of lead(II) by a convenient oxidant such as O2, nullifying an effective catalytic cycle. In order to utilize renewable energy resources as alternatives to high-temperature thermocatalysis, we demonstrate the room-temperature electrocatalytic oxyesterification of alkanes and benzene with PbIV(TFA)4 as catalysts. At 1.67 V versus SHE, alkanes and benzene yielded the corresponding trifluoroacetate esters at room temperature; typically, good yields and high faradaic efficiencies were observed. High intrinsic turnover frequencies were obtained, for example, of >1000 min-1 for the oxyesterification of ethane at 30 bar. An analysis of the possible mechanistic pathways based on previously investigated stochiometric reactions, cyclic voltammetry measurements, kinetic isotope effects, and model compounds led to the conclusion that catalysis involves lead-mediated proton-coupled electron transfer of alkanes at and to the anode, followed by reductive elimination through an SN2 reaction to yield the alkyl-TFA products. Similarly, lead-mediated electron transfer from benzene at and to the anode leads to phenyl-TFA. Cyclic voltammetry also shows the viability of in situ reoxidation of Pb(II) species. The synthesis results obtained as well as the mechanistic insight are important advances towards the realization of selective alkane and arene oxidation reactions.
