- Visible-light-promotedE-selective synthesis of α-fluoro-β-arylalkenyl sulfidesviathe deoxygenation/isomerization process
-
Regioselective synthesis of α-fluoro-β-arylalkenyl sulfides has been established withgem-difluoroalkenes and sodium sulfinates in a transition-metal-free manner. A series of control experiments were executed to demonstrate thiol radicals and anions as the proposed intermediates. Notably, regioselectiveZ→Eisomerization was achieved under green light irradiation in the absence of a photoinitiator.

- Metal-Free Access to (E/Z)-α-Fluorovinyl Phosphorus Compounds from gem-Difluorostyrenes
-
A facile and efficient method for the synthesis of (E/Z)-α-fluorovinyl phosphorus compounds from gem-difluorostyrenes with diphenylphosphine oxide/dialkyl phosphate and DBU at room temperature was developed. A series of 1-fluorovinyl phosphine oxides/phosphonates were obtained with moderate to excellent yields in these reactions. Additionally, most isomers (E/Z type) of the target compounds could be easily separated and purified by column chromatography.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Direct Approach to α-Trifluoromethyl Alcohols by Selective Hydroxylfluorination of gem-Difluoroalkenes
-
A novel palladium-catalyzed selective hydroxylfluorination of gem-difluoroalkenes has been developed. By employing easily obtainable gem-difluoroalkenes and NFSI as the fluorine source, the scope, advantages, and limitations of this reaction were investigated. The reaction presents an efficient synthesis to afford a series of α-trifluoromethyl alcohols in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, this reaction probably proceeds via oxidation of Pd0 to PdII fluoride complex by NFSI, followed by fluoropalladation of gem-difluoroalkenes to generate an α-trifluoromethylbenzyl–Pd intermediate. And this strategy offers more possibilities for the construction of other bonds, such as C–C, C–N and C–S.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling of Secondary α-(Trifluoromethyl)benzyl Tosylates
-
A palladium-catalyzed C(sp3)?C(sp2) Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl boronic acids and α-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl tosylates is reported. A readily available, air-stable palladium catalyst was employed to access a wide range of functionalized 1,1-diaryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethanes. Enantioenriched α-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl tosylates were found to undergo cross-coupling to give the corresponding enantioenriched cross-coupled products with an overall inversion in configuration. The crucial role of the CF3 group in promoting this transformation is demonstrated by comparison with non-fluorinated derivatives.
