- Direct Synthesis of Tri-/Difluoromethyl Ketones from Carboxylic Acids by Cross-Coupling with Acyloxyphosphonium Ions
-
A simple and straightforward approach to the synthesis of trifluoromethyl and difluoromethyl ketones from widely available carboxylic acids is disclosed. The transformation utilizes an acyloxyphosphonium ion as the active electrophile, conveniently generated in situ from the carboxylic acid substrate by using commodity chemicals. The utility of the reaction system is exemplified by its chemoselectivity, with tolerance to a variety of important functional groups. The late-stage functionalization of carboxylic acid active pharmaceutical ingredients and pharmaceutically relevant compounds is also discussed.

- Oxidation of alcohols using an oxoammonium salt bearing the nitrate anion
-
A methodology for the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds is reported using a sub-stoichiometric quantity of an oxoammonium salt bearing the nitrate counterion. The approach proves successful for the oxidation of a range of alcohol substrates including those bearing an oxygen atom β to the site of oxidation or an α-trifluoromethyl moiety. The mechanism of the reaction has been probed and also gives an insight into the previously reported nitric acid mediated oxidation of alcohols.

- Catalytic Oxidation of Alcohols Using a 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-N-hydroxyammonium Cation
-
The oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids is reported using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-4-acetamido-hydroxyammonium tetrafluoroborate as a catalyst in conjunction with sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate as a terminal oxidant. The reaction is generally complete within 30–120 min using an acetonitrile/water mix as the solvent, and no additives are required. Product yields are good to excellent and of particular note is that the methodology can be used to access aryl α-trifluoromethyl ketones.

- Oxidation of α-trifluoromethyl and non-fluorinated alcohols: Via the merger of oxoammonium cations and photoredox catalysis
-
We present an alcohol oxidation strategy to access α-trifluoromethyl ketones (TFMKs) merging catalytic oxoammonium cation oxidation with visible-light photoredox catalysis. This work uses 4-acetamido-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yl)oxyl as an organic oxidant capable of generating TFMKs in good yields. The methodology serves as an improvement over previous reports of an analogous oxidation strategy requiring superstoichiometric quantities of oxidant. Both primary and secondary non-fluorinated alcohols can also be oxidised in good yields.

- Convenient, functional group-tolerant, transition metal-free synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl trifluoromethyl ketones with the use of methyl trifluoroacetate
-
A new convenient, functional group-tolerant, transition metal-free route to aryl trifluoromethyl ketones under mild conditions is described. The reaction of not only aryl Grignard reagents carrying reducible electrophilic functional groups, such as ester and cyano groups, but also electron-deficient nitrogen-containing heteroaryl Grignard reagents with methyl trifluoroacetate gives the corresponding aryl or heteroaryl trifluoromethyl ketones in good yields. Biological assays revealed that new heteroaryl trifluoromethyl ketones carrying 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine and 3,5-dimethylisoxazole rings show good anti-tumor activities.

- Visible light-promoted umpolung coupling of aryl tri-/difluoroethanones with 2-alkenylpyridines
-
Tertiary alcohols bearing a trifluoromethyl group are of considerable medicinal interest. Using an umpolung strategy, we herein report the first intermolecular reductive cross-coupling of aryl tri-/difluoroethanones with 2-alkenylpyridines with the aid of a Br?nsted acid catalyst upon visible-light irradiation. This metal-free reaction is operationally simple and performed at ambient temperature, allowing access to desired tertiary alcohols with tri-/difluoromethyl groups in moderate to excellent yields. The commercially available and easily handled Hantzsch ester effectively serves as an electron donor, as well as a hydrogen atom source.

- Copper-Mediated Trifluoroacetylation of Arenediazonium Salts with Ethyl Trifluoropyruvate
-
A copper-mediated trifluoroacetylation of various arenediazonium salts with ethyl trifluoropyruvate is reported. The reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions at room temperature giving trifluoromethyl aryl ketones in moderate to good yields. A variety of functional groups, including methoxy, hydroxy, ester, ketone, trifluoromethyl, and halide groups, were well tolerated. A possible reaction mechanism involving an aryl radical intermediate was proposed and supported by experimental evidence. This reaction provides a new route to trifluoromethyl aryl ketones, notable synthetic targets, from the corresponding anilines.

- Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative coupling of aryl iodides with an organocopper reagent: A straightforward procedure for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl ketones
-
A palladium-catalyzed carbonylative coupling of aryl iodides with a (trifluoromethyl)copper reagent has been developed. A wide range of substrates have been transformed into their corresponding trifluoromethyl ketones in good to excellent yields under mild conditions with high efficiency and excellent functional-group compatibility. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that the transmetallation of an acylpalladium intermediate with the (trifluoromethyl)copper reagent seems to be involved in the catalytic cycle. Notably, this report represents one of the few studies on carbonylative coupling with organocopper reagents.

- Highly efficient synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl trifluoromethyl ketones via o-iodobenzoic acid (IBX)
-
A two-step process for the synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl trifluoromethyl ketones from the corresponding aldehydes is described. Trifluoromethyl alcohols were prepared from aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes in excellent yields using catalytic amount of K2CO3. The trifluoromethyl alcohols were then oxidized conveniently and efficiently by o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) under mild conditions to get the desired functionalized aryl and heteroaryl trifluoromethyl ketones.

- Copper-catalyzed rearrangement of oximes into primary amides
-
The atom-efficient and cost-effective rearrangement of oximes into primary amides is catalyzed by simple copper salts. The use of homogeneous Cu(OAc) 2 (1-2 mol %) was found to be effective for this transformation at 80 °C. The reaction was successful with either conventional or microwave heating. CuO and CuO/ZnO on activated carbon provided a competent reuseable heterogeneous catalyst which could be used in a batch process or in flow. Copper salts are much cheaper than the precious metals previously used for this rearrangement, and the reaction conditions are milder than those reported.
