Mechanistic insight into the thermal activation of Togni's trifluoromethylation reagents

Herein we investigate the propensity of hypervalent iodine based electrophilic trifluoromethylating agents to undergo thermally induced fragmentation of the F3C-I-O motif. For the first time we are able to observe a dissociative electron transfer mechanism using mass spectroscopy techniques to generate and trap CF3 radicals. Consistent with this mechanism, alkyl radical elimination from these reagents is in full support of an intermediate cyclic iodanyl radical and a reagent-specific temperature of maximum radical production was found to correlate with reported solution phase reactivity.

This article describes the application of N-heterocyclic iod(az)olium salts (NHISs) as highly reactive organocatalysts. A variety of mono- and dicationic NHISs are described and utilized as potent XB-donors in halogen-bond catalysis. They were benchmarked in seven diverse test reactions in which the activation of carbon- and metal-chloride bonds as well as carbonyl and nitro groups was achieved. N-methylated dicationic NHISs rendered the highest reactivity in all investigated catalytic applications with reactivities even higher than all previously described monodentate XB-donors based on iodine(I) and (III) and the strong Lewis acid BF3.

A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.
