- Rational Design and Development of Low-Price, Scalable, Shelf-Stable and Broadly Applicable Electrophilic Sulfonium Ylide-Based Trifluoromethylating Reagents
-
The development of two highly reactive electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagents (trifluoromethyl)(4-nitrophenyl)bis(carbomethoxy)methylide (1g) and (trifluoromethyl)(3-chlorophenyl)bis(carbomethoxy)methylide (1j) through structure-activity study was described. Under mild conditions, reagent 1g reacted with β-ketoesters and silyl enol ethers to give α-trifluoromethylated-β-ketoesters or α-trifluoromethylated ketones in high yields. In addition, reagent 1g could serve as a trifluoromethyl radical for a variety of trifluoromethylative transformations under visible light irradiation, including radical trifluoromethylation of electron-rich indoles and pyrroles and sodium aryl sulfinates as well as trifluoromethylative difunctionalization with styrene derivatives. On the other hand, as a complimentary, under reductive coupling conditions, reagent 1j reacted with a variety of (hetero)aryl iodides for the formation of trifluoromethylated (hetero)arenes.

- Nickel-Mediated Trifluoromethylation of Phenol Derivatives by Aryl C?O Bond Activation
-
The increasing pharmaceutical importance of trifluoromethylarenes has stimulated the development of more efficient trifluoromethylation reactions. Tremendous efforts have focused on copper- and palladium-mediated/catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aryl halides. In contrast, no general method exists for the conversion of widely available inert electrophiles, such as phenol derivatives, into the corresponding trifluoromethylated arenes. Reported herein is a practical nickel-mediated trifluoromethylation of phenol derivatives with readily available trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (TMSCF3). The strategy relies on PMe3-promoted oxidative addition and transmetalation, and CCl3CN-induced reductive elimination. The broad utility of this transformation has been demonstrated through the direct incorporation of trifluoromethyl into aromatic and heteroaromatic systems, including biorelevant compounds.

- Deoxofluorination of (Hetero)aromatic Acids
-
Diverse trifluoromethyl-substituted compounds were synthesized by deoxofluorination of cinnamic and (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids with sulfur tetrafluoride. The obtained products were used as starting materials in the preparation of novel fluorinated amino acids, anilines, and aliphatic amines - valuable building blocks for medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry.

- Nitrogen-coordinated cobalt nanocrystals for oxidative dehydrogenation and hydrogenation of N-heterocycles
-
To endow non-noble metals with the high catalytic activity that is typically exhibited by noble metals is the central yet challenging aim for substituting noble metals. In this regard, by exploiting the coordination effect of nitrogen, we prepared cobalt nanocrystals stabilized by nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon (Co NCs/N-C). The obtained Co NC/N-C catalyst showed extraordinary performances toward both oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles and its reverse hydrogenation process under extremely mild conditions. A nearly quantitative conversion could be achieved for oxidative dehydrogenation even at room temperature (25 °C), for which the coordination effect of nitrogen is responsible: the interaction of Co-N induces a partial positive charge on the Co surface, thereby promoting the reaction. In contrast, cobalt nanocrystals supported by pristine carbon (Co NCs/C) proved to be inactive for oxidative dehydrogenation, owing to the lack of nitrogen. Moreover, in Co NCs/N-C, the N-doped graphitized carbon formed a protective layer for Co NCs, which preserved the active valence of Co species and prevented the catalyst from leaching. It was found that the catalyst still retained its excellent catalytic activity after five regeneration cycles; in comparison, its cobaltous oxide counterpart (CoOx/N-C) was barely active. As for the mechanism, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis revealed the formation of superoxide anion radicals during the dehydrogenation process. Interestingly, the pressure of feed hydrogen had little effect on the hydrogenation process. Our Co NC/N-C catalyst is capable of activating molecular oxygen and hydrogen as effectively as noble metals; the coordination effect of nitrogen and the protection by the carbon layer in combination confer tremendous potential on the Co NCs/N-C for substituting noble-metal-based catalysts and soluble catalysts for homogeneous reactions.

- TCDA: Practical Synthesis and Application in the Trifluoromethylation of Arenes and Heteroarenes
-
A practical synthesis of the reagent trimethylsilyl chlorodifluoroacetate (TCDA) is reported on 50 g scale. The trifluoromethylation with TCDA was optimized, and the reaction shows very broad scope with respect to electron-deficient, -neutral, -rich aryl/heteroaryl iodides, as well as excellent functional group tolerability, such as ester, amide, aldehyde, hydroxyl, and carboxylic acid. The reagent was also applied to the late-stage trifluoromethylation of three medicinally relevant compounds. Additionally, the building block trifluoromethylpyridine and one drug related molecule Boc-Fluoxetin were synthesized in 10 g scale by this method, demonstrating its practical applications in process chemistry.

An efficient synthesis of trifluoromethylated (hetero)arenes has been achieved through the regioselective copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of di(hetero)aryl-λ3-iodanes, employing readily available trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane.

- Highly Enantioselective Direct Synthesis of Endocyclic Vicinal Diamines through Chiral Ru(diamine)-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of 2,2′-Bisquinoline Derivatives
-
An asymmetric hydrogenation of 2,2′-bisquinoline and bisquinoxaline derivatives, catalyzed by chiral cationic ruthenium diamine complexes, was developed. A broad range of chiral endocyclic vicinal diamines were obtained in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity (up to 93:7 dl/meso and >99 % ee). These chiral diamines could be easily transformed into a new class of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), which are important but difficult to access.

- 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-promoted decomposition of difluorocarbene and the subsequent trifluoromethylation
-
Difluorocarbene derived from various carbene precursors could be effectively decomposed by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). This decomposition process was successfully applied in the subsequent trifluoromethylation of a variety of (hetero)aryl iodides without the addition of an external fluoride ion. Mechanistic investigation revealed the detailed difluorocarbene conversion process in which the decomposed difluorocarbene is finally transformed into a fluoride ion and carbon monoxide.

- Synthesis and Characterization of Iron-Nitrogen-Doped Graphene/Core-Shell Catalysts: Efficient Oxidative Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles
-
An important goal for nanocatalysis is the development of flexible and efficient methods for preparing active and stable core-shell catalysts. In this respect, we present the synthesis and characterization of iron oxides surrounded by nitrogen-doped-graphene shells immobilized on carbon support (labeled FeOx@NGr-C). Active catalytic materials are obtained in a simple, scalable and two-step method via pyrolysis of iron acetate and phenanthroline and subsequent selective leaching. The optimized FeOx@NGr-C catalyst showed high activity in oxidative dehydrogenations of several N-heterocycles. The utility of this benign methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant quinolines. In addition, mechanistic studies prove that the reaction progresses via superoxide radical anions (·O2-).

Efficient copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aromatic iodides was achieved with TMSCF3 in the presence of trimethylborate. The Lewis acid was used to anchor the in situ generated trifluoromethyl anion and suppress its rapid decomposition.

- One-pot sandmeyer trifluoromethylation and trifluoromethylthiolation

Practical one-pot procedures were developed for both Sandmeyer-type trifluoromethylations and trifluoromethylthiolations. Starting from broadly available (hetero)aromatic amines, various benzotrifluorides were synthesized in high yields via in situ diazotization and copper-mediated trifluoromethylation using the inexpensive Ruppert-Prakash trifluoromethylating reagent. In the presence of sodium thiocyanate as a sulfur source, aryl trifluoromethyl thioethers are exclusively formed.
