• General Description: Diethyl difluoromethylphosphonate is a key precursor used in the synthesis of (diethylphosphinyl)difluoromethyllithium, a reagent employed for introducing difluoromethylene or difluoromethyl groups into organic compounds, enhancing their biological activity. DIFLUOROMETHYLPHOSPHONIC ACID DIETHYL ESTER reacts with lithium diisopropylamide to generate the lithium reagent, which is then applied to various electrophiles such as ketones, aldehydes, and halides, yielding products with difluorinated moieties. The process demonstrates variable efficiency depending on the electrophile, with high yields achieved for some (e.g., Me3SiCl, EtBr) but lower success for others (e.g., allyl bromide). Additionally, intermediate adducts can be further transformed into 1,1-difluoro olefins via the Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. However, the method has limitations, as certain functional groups (e.g., nitro, pyridine) may lead to undesired rearrangements or failed reactions.

(DIETHYLPHOSPHINYL)DIFLUOROMETHYLLITHIUM. -PREPARATION AND SYNTHETIC APPLICATION-

10.1016/S0040-4039(00)87332-3

The research focuses on the preparation and synthetic application of (diethylphosphinyl)difluoromethyllithium, a reagent derived from the reaction of lithium diisopropylamide with diethyl difluoromethylphosphonate. The purpose of this study is to introduce difluoromethylene or difluoromethyl units into various electrophiles, which can lead to a remarkable enhancement of biological activity in organic compounds, as observed in the case of halogenated pesticides like decamethrin and NRDC-1821. The researchers successfully synthesized a range of compounds with difluoro-methylene or difluoromethyl groups from ketones and aldehydes, using this reagent. They found that the reaction yields varied depending on the electrophiles used, with some achieving high yields such as Me3SiCl (87%) and EtBr (82%), while others like CH2=CHCH2Br resulted in lower yields (23%). The study also explored the conversion of intermediate adducts into 1,1-difluoro olefins using the Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. The chemicals used in this process include diethyl difluoromethyl phosphonate, lithium diisopropylamide, and various electrophiles such as Me3SiCl, n-Bu3SnCl, (EtO)2P(O)Cl, and EtBr, among others. The conclusions drawn from the research indicate that while the procedure is generally applicable to various ketones and aldehydes, certain functional groups like nitro or pyridine rings did not yield the desired products and sometimes led to rearrangements.
