The gas-phase copyrolysis of tetrafluoroethylene with buta-1,3-diene in a flow reactor at 495–505 °C produces 3,3,4,4-tetrafluorocyclohex-1-ene, which selectively converted to 1,2-difluorobenzene or 1-chloro-2,3-difluorobenzene. The latter can be converted to 2-chloro-3,4-difluoronitrobenzene, 2,3,4-trifluoronitrobenzene, 2,3-difluoro-6-nitrophenol, or 2-chloro-3-fluoro-4-nitrophenol via nitration, fluorodechlorination, and hydrolysis reactions.

The gas-phase copyrolysis of tetrafluoroethylene and buta-1,3-diene in a flow tube reactor at 490–510 °C gives 3,3,4,4-tetrafluorocyclohex-1-ene, which is selectively converted to 1-bromo- or 1-chloro-2,3-difluorobenzene via intermediate steps of halogenation and dehydrohalogenation.

A high-throughput optical screening method for the photocatalytic activity of a structurally diverse library of 1152 cationic iridium(III) complexes ([Ir(C^N)2(N^N)]+), corresponding to all combinations of 48 cyclometalating (C^N) and 24 ancillary (N^N) ligands, was developed. This rapid assay utilizes the colorimetric changes of a high contrast indicator dye, coumarin 6, to monitor the photo-induced electron transfer from a sacrificial amine donor to the metal complex excited state. The resulting [Ir(C^N)2(N^N)]0 can then reduce an aryl bromide to form the highly reactive aryl radical intermediate. The rate of this reaction is dictated by the molecular structure of both coordinating ligands. Relative reaction rate constants determined via this method correlated closely with 19F NMR measurements obtained using a fluorinated substrate. A simple model that expresses the rate constant as a product of a single ″strength″ parameter assigned to each of the 72 ligands can well account for the 1152 measured rate constants. The best performing complexes exhibit much higher reactivity than the benchmark photocatalysts commonly used in photoredox transformations. The catalysts were also successfully tested for their chemoselectivity. The developed screening methodology can enable generation of the large data sets needed to use modern data science to extract structure-activity relationships.
Two-step regioselective synthesis of 1,2-difluorobenzenes from chlorotrifluoroethylene and buta-l,3-dienes
Lipkind, M. B.,Nefedov, O. M.,Volchkov, N. V.
, p. 68 - 75 (2020/04/21)
The gas-phase copyrolysis of chlorotrifluoroethylene with buta-1,3-diene, penta-1,3-diene, or isoprene in a flow reactor at 440–480°C gave 4-chloro-4,5,5-trifluorocyclohex-1-enes. The latter treated with aqueous KOH under condition of phase-transfer catalysis were selectively converted into 1,2-difluorobenzene, 2,3-difluorotoluene, or 3,4-difluorotoluene.

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is a cornerstone method for sp2-sp2 cross-coupling in industry. There has been a concerted effort to enable the use of Ni catalysis as an alternative to Pd in order to mitigate cost and improve sustainability. Despite significant advances, ligand development for Ni-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling remains underdeveloped when compared to Pd and, as a consequence, ligands for Ni-catalyzed processes are typically taken from the Pd arena. In this study we evaluate the effect of using a similar Ni and Pd precatalyst based on a common bidentate ligand (dppf) in a head-to-head format for the most common type of biaryl couplings, establishing the practical implications of direct replacement of Pd with Ni, and identifying the potential origins of these observations in a mechanistic context.
Catalytic Hydrodefluorination of Fluoroarenes Using Ru(IMe4)2L2H2 (IMe4 = 1,3,4,5-Tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene; L2 = (PPh3)2, dppe, dppp, dppm) Complexes

The all-trans isomer of Ru(IMe4)2(PPh3)2H2 (ttt-4; IMe4 = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) reacts with C6F6 at 70 °C to afford the hydride fluoride complex Ru(IMe4)2(PPh3)2HF (ttt-6). At room temperature, ttt-6 reacts with Et3SiH to give a mixture of products, one of which is assigned as the silyl trihydride complex Ru(IMe4)2(PPh3)(SiEt3)H3 (8) by comparison to the isolated and structurally characterized analogue Ru(IMe4)2(PPh3)(SiPh3)H3 (9). As ttt-4 was re-formed cleanly upon heating ttt-6 with Et3SiH, it was tested in the catalytic hydrodefluorination (HDF) of C6F6 (10 mol %, 90 °C), along with 9, Ru(IMe4)2(P-P)HF (P-P = Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2 (dppe, cct-13), Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2 (dppp, cct-14), Ph2PCH2PPh2 (dppm, cct-15)), Ru(IEt2Me2)2(PPh3)2HF (cct-7; IEt2Me2 = 1,3-diethyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene)), and Ru(IEt2Me2)2(dppe)2HF (cct-16) for comparison. Both cct-13 and cct-14 brought about near-quantitative conversion to C6FH5 in 24 h, in comparison to ca. 50% conversion with ttt-4 in 144 h.
Method for synthesizing o-difluorobenzene
-
Paragraph 0028; 0030-0032; 0034, (2018/02/04)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing o-difluorobenzene. The method comprises that 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a raw material undergoes a reaction under the action of potassium fluoride to produce benzyne, and the benzyne and fed fluorine gas directly undergo a fluorination reaction to produce o-difluorobenzene. The fluorine gas is produced by fluoro-hydrocarbon compound pyrolysis. The novel preparation method utilizes cheap and easily available raw materials, realizes a low preparation cost, is easy to operate and after-treat, develops application of a fluorohydrocarbon compound, utilizes fluorohydrocarbon pyrolysis for a fluorination reaction, is an environmentally friendly synthesis method and is suitable for industrial production. The use of the fluorohydrocarbon compound as a fluorine gas source for synthesis of the product o-difluorobenzene has not been reported and thus the method has a good application prospect.

Pioneering studies by Kuivila, published more than 50 years ago, suggested ipso protonation of the boronate as the mechanism for base-catalyzed protodeboronation of arylboronic acids. However, the study was limited to UV spectrophotometric analysis under acidic conditions, and the aqueous association constants (Ka) were estimated. By means of NMR, stopped-flow IR, and quenched-flow techniques, the kinetics of base-catalyzed protodeboronation of 30 different arylboronic acids has now been determined at pH > 13 in aqueous dioxane at 70 °C. Included in the study are all 20 isomers of C6HnF(5-n)B(OH)2 with half-lives spanning 9 orders of magnitude: a and Sδ values, kinetic isotope effects (2H, 10B, 13C), linear free-energy relationships, and density functional theory calculations, we have identified a mechanistic regime involving unimolecular heterolysis of the boronate competing with concerted ipso protonation/C-B cleavage. The relative Lewis acidities of arylboronic acids do not correlate with their protodeboronation rates, especially when ortho substituents are present. Notably, 3,5-dinitrophenylboronic acid is orders of magnitude more stable than tetra-and pentafluorophenylboronic acids but has a similar pKa.

Methylation of 2,8-dimethyl-6H,12H-5,11-ethanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]-diazocine (ethano-Tr?ger's base) with methyl iodide followed by ion metathesis and fluorination with N-fluoro-2,3,4,5,6-pentachloropyridinium triflate affords a new electrophilic N-F reagent, that is more reactive than Selectfluor. 2D 19F-15N HMQC experiments provide 1JNF coupling constants which are diagnostic for the N-F functional group.
