This study describes a new convenient method for the photocatalytic generation of glycosyl fluorides using sulfur(VI) hexafluoride as an inexpensive and safe fluorinating agent and 4,4′-dimethoxybenzophenone as a readily available organic photocatalyst. This mild method was employed to generate 16 different glycosyl fluorides, including the substrates with acid and base labile functionalities, in yields of 43%-97%, and it was applied in continuous flow to accomplish fluorination on an 7.7 g scale and 93% yield.

The chemical synthesis of pyridoxine-5′-β-D-glucoside (5′-β-PNG) was investigated using various glucoside donors and promoters. Hereby, the combination of α4,3-O-isopropylidene pyridoxine, glucose vested with different leaving and protecting groups and the application of stoichiometric amounts of different promoters was examined with regards to the preparation of the twofold protected PNG. Best results were obtained with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride and boron trifluoride etherate (2.0 eq.) as promoter at 0 °C (59%). The deprotection was accomplished stepwise with potassium/sodium hydroxide in acetonitrile/water followed by acid hydrolysis with formic acid resulting in the chemical synthesis of 5′-β-PNG.
Open-Shell Fluorination of Alkyl Bromides: Unexpected Selectivity in a Silyl Radical-Mediated Chain Process

We disclose a novel radical strategy for the fluorination of alkyl bromides via the merger of silyl radical-mediated halogen-atom abstraction and benzophenone photosensitization. Selectivity for halogen-atom abstraction from alkyl bromides is observed in the presence of an electrophilic fluorinating reagent containing a weak N-F bond despite the predicted favorability for Si-F bond formation. To probe this surprising selectivity, preliminary mechanistic and computational studies were conducted, revealing that a radical chain mechanism is operative in which kinetic selectivity for Si-Br abstraction dominates due to a combination of polar effects and halogen-atom polarizability in the transition state. This transition-metal-free fluorination protocol tolerates a broad range of functional groups, including alcohols, ketones, and aldehydes, which demonstrates the complementary nature of this strategy to existing fluorination technologies. This system has been extended to the generation of gem-difluorinated motifs which are commonly found in medicinal agents and agrochemicals.
