The Br?nsted basicities pKaH (i.e., pKa of the conjugate acids) of 32 pyrrolidines and imidazolidinones, commonly used in organocatalytic reactions, have been determined photometrically in acetonitrile solution using CH acids as indicators. Most investigated pyrrolidines have basicities in the range 16 aH aH aH 12.6) and the 2-imidazoliummethyl-substituted pyrrolidine A21 (pKaH 11.1) are outside the typical range for pyrrolidines with basicities comparable to those of imidazolidinones. Kinetics of the reactions of these 32 organocatalysts with benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+) and structurally related quinone methides, common reference electrophiles for quantifying nucleophilic reactivities, have been measured photometrically. Most reactions followed second-order kinetics, first order in amine and first order in electrophile. More complex kinetics were observed for the reactions of imidazolidinones and several pyrrolidines carrying bulky 2-substituents, due to reversibility of the initial attack of the amines at the electrophiles followed by rate-determining deprotonation of the intermediate ammonium ions. In the presence of 2,4,6-collidine or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-pyridine, the deprotonation of the initial adducts became faster, which allowed the rate of the attack of the amines at the electrophiles to be determined. The resulting second-order rate constants k2 followed the correlation log?k2(20 °C) = sN(N + E), where electrophiles are characterized by one parameter (E) and nucleophiles are characterized by the two solvent-dependent parameters N and sN. In this way, the organocatalysts A1-A32 were integrated in our comprehensive nucleophilicity scale, which compares n-, -, and σ-nucleophiles. The nucleophilic reactivities of the title compounds correlate only poorly with their Br?nsted basicities.

We have demonstrated that the Ruppert-Prakash reagent is able to react with a number of cyclic imines under acidic condition to afford the corresponding α-trifluoromethyl derivatives of nitrogen heterocycles. 5-7-Membered cyclic imines bearing various alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group were successfully involved in this transformation. Novel trifluoromethylated analogues of nicotine, anabasine, and homoanabasine alkaloids were synthesized.

A convenient and simple approach for the preparation of -CF3and C2F5 substituted pyrrolines, tetrahydropyridines, tetrahydroazepine is described. Claisen condensation of N-protected cyclic amides with esters of perfluorocarboxylic acids followed by deprotection and decarboxylation in acidic media leads to the desired products. Reduction of these imines permits to obtain 5-, 6-, and 7-membered cyclic amines with - CF3and C2F5 group in good to moderate overall yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart - New York.
