Pd-Catalysed direct C(sp2)-H fluorination of aromatic ketones: Concise access to anacetrapib
The Pd-cataylsed direct ortho-C(sp2)-H fluorination of aromatic ketones has been developed for the first time. The reaction features good regioselectivity and simple operations, constituting an alternative shortcut to access fluorinated ketones. A concise synthesis of anacetrapib has also been achieved by using late-stage C-H fluorination as a key step.
Synthesis and characterization of new ca-disubstituted (diarylaminomethyl)phosphonates
A convenient and efficient three-step procedure for the preparation of W-protected or unprotected C-disubstituted (di-arylaminomethyOphosphonates 1 is reported. This method allows diversification of the substituents on the carbon in the a-position to the phosphorus, as well as the protective group on the amine and the phosphonate ester group.
