Radical C?H Trifluoromethoxylation of (Hetero)arenes with Bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide

Trifluoromethoxylated (hetero)arenes are of great interest for several disciplines, especially in agro- and medicinal chemistry. Radical C?H trifluoromethoxylation of (hetero)arenes represents an attractive approach to prepare such compounds, but the high cost and low atom economy of existing .OCF3 radical sources make them unsuitable for the large-scale synthesis of trifluoromethoxylated building blocks. Herein, we introduce bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide (BTMP, CF3OOCF3) as a practical and efficient trifluoromethoxylating reagent that is easily accessible from inexpensive bulk chemicals. Using either visible light photoredox or TEMPO catalysis, trifluoromethoxylated arenes could be prepared in good yields under mild conditions directly from unactivated aromatics. Moreover, TEMPO catalysis allowed for the one-step synthesis of valuable pyridine derivatives, which have been previously prepared via multi-step approaches.

From hypochlorites to perfluorinated dialkyl peroxides

The synthesis and characterization of the new perfluorinated hypochlorite, undecafluoro-tert-pentyl hypochlorite, (C2F5)(F3C)2COCl, is reported. Its gas-phase infrared, UV/Vis and NMR spectra have been recorded and its spectroscopic properties are discussed and compared with quantum-chemical predictions and those of other known perfluorinated hypochlorites such as RFOCl [RF = F3C, (F3C)3C, (C2F5)(F3C)2C]. A synthetic route to otherwise difficult to access perfluorinated dialkyl peroxides, RFOORF, is also provided by low-temperature photolysis of the corresponding hypochlorite.

Synthesis and properties of trifluoromethoxyl fluoroformyl anhydride, CF3OC(O)OC(O)F

In the present work the synthesis of the trifluoromethoxyl fluoroformyl anhydride is presented for the first time. Two strategies were employed to obtain CF3OC(O)OC(O)F: the thermal decomposition of CF 3OC(O)OOOC(O)F in excess of CO, and the reaction between CF 3OC(O)OOC(O)F, FC(O)OOC(O)F and CO. A mechanism was proposed taking into account reaction rates and thermal stability of the intermediates. DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-311+G* level were used to explore the conformational space of this molecule and the relative populations of conformers at room temperature, and to simulate the experimental vibrational spectrum. This molecule completes the family of the asymmetric oxygen bonded acyl compounds CF3OC(O)OxC(O)F with x = 1-3.

The use of perfluoroalkyl hypofluorites for an efficient synthesis of perfluorinated ethers characterized by low Ostwald coefficient

In the reaction between perfluoroolefins and perfluoroalkylhypofluorites the existence of two different free radical reaction mechanisms is demonstrated by the presence of characteristic byproducts. These kinetic schemes can be experimentally controlled b

Preparation of high purity fluorinated peroxides

High-purity fluorinated peroxides are prepared in a simplified process in which carbonyl fluoride is reacted with a hypofluorite to produce a gaseous reaction product which is essentially free of unreacted hypofluorite; unreacted carbonyl fluoride and by productsare removed from the gaseous reaction product under gas phase conditions; and then the fluorinated peroxideis collected in gas phase.

Preparation of high purity fluorinated peroxides

This invention is directed to an improvement in a process for producing high-purity fluorinated peroxides typically formed by the reaction of a carbonyl fluoride with a hypofluorite. The improvement resides in a simplified process for the synthesis and recovery of high purity fluorinated high purity peroxide product and comprises the steps: (a) reacting the carbonyl fluoride with the hypofluorite under conditions such that a gaseous reaction product comprised of the fluorinated peroxide and unreacted carbonyl fluoride which is essentially free of unreacted hypofluorite is formed; (b) removing unreacted carbonyl fluoride and by products from the gaseous reaction product under gas phase conditions thereby generating a gaseous product stream containing the fluorinated peroxide; and then, (c) collecting the fluorinated peroxide from step (b) in gas phase.

Reaction between carbon dioxide and elementary fluorine

Reactions between carbon dioxide and fluorine were examined at temperatures of 303-523 K under various pressure and mixture ratios of both gases. Reactions were carried out similarly under the existence of NaF, CsF and EuF3. After the reaction, fluorine was removed and the reaction products were analyzed using FT-IR, GC/FT-IR and GC/MS. The major products were CF3OF, COF2, CF4 and CF2(OF)2. The best yield of COF2 was 11.1% under the reaction condition of CO2/F2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa with temperature of 498 K for 72 h in a direct reaction. The formation rate of COF2 in the direct reaction was estimated as 0.232 dm3 mol-1 h-1 under the reaction conditions of CO2/F2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa, at 498 K. In the presence of CsF, it was estimated as 1.88 dm3 mol-1 h-1 at CO2/F2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa at 498 K. The activation energy of the COF2 formation in the direct reaction was estimated as 45.7 kJ mol-1 at CO2/F2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa at 498 K. In addition, 24.2 and 38.9 kJ mol-1 were evaluated at CO2/F2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa at 498 K, respectively, in the presence of CsF and EuF3.

Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of bis(trifluoromethyl) peroxydicarbonate, CF3OC(O)OOC(O)OCF3

Thermal decomposition of bis(trifluoromethyl) peroxydicarbonate has been studied. The mechanism of decomposition is a simple bond fission, homogeneous first-order process when the reaction is carried out in the presence of inert gases such as N2 or CO. An activation energy of 28.5 kcal mol-1 was determined for the temperature range of 50-90°C. Decomposition is accelerated by nitric oxide because of a chemical attack on the peroxide forming substances different from those formed with N2 or CO. An interpretation on the influence of the substituents in different peroxides on the O-O bond is given.

Kinetic study of the reactions of CF3O2 radicals with Cl and NO

Kinetic studies of the reactions CF3O2 + Cl and CF3O2 + NO were performed at room temperature in the gas phase using the discharge flow mass spectrometric technique (DFMS). The reactions were investigated under pseudo- first-order conditions with Cl or NO in large excess with respect to the CF3O2 radicals. The rate constant for the reaction CF3O2 + NO was measured at 298 K and the value of (1.6 ± 0.3) x 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 is in very good agreement with all previous values. For the reaction CF3O2 + Cl, we obtain a rate constant at 298 K of (4.2 ± 0.8) x 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 in excellent agreement with the only published value. Product analysis shows that this reaction occurs via the major reaction pathway CF3O2 + Cl → CF3O + ClO at room temperature. In addition, an ab initio theoretical study was performed to gain insights on the different postulated reaction pathways. There is a significant disagreement between experimental and ab initio values recommended for the formation enthalpies of CF2O, CF3O and related molecules produced in this system. Consequently, we provide self-consistent values of enthalpies based on isodesmic reactions for the CF3O2 + Cl reaction system using the G2, G2(MP2) and CBS-Q methods. These values are also compared with BAC-MP4 heats of formation calculated in this work.
