C-H FLUORINATION OF HETEROCYCLES WITH SILVER (II) FLUORIDE
-
Paragraph 00123, (2015/02/19)
The present invention provides compositions and methods for the selective C-H fluorination of nitrogen-containing heteroarenes with AgF2, which has previously been considered too reactive for practical, selective C-H fluorination. Fluorinated heteroarenes are prevalent in numerous pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. However, the reactions used to introduce fluorine into these molecules require pre-functionalized substrates or the use of F2 gas. The present invention provides a mild and general method for the C-H fluorination of nitrogen-containing heteroarene compounds to 2-fluoro-heteroarenes with commercially available AgF2. In various embodiments, these reactions occur at ambient temperature within one hour and occur with exclusive selectivity for fluorination at the 2-position. Exemplary reaction conditions are effective for fluorinating diazine heteroarenes to form a single fluorinated isomer.
Preparation of 2-Fluoropyridines via Base-Induced Decomposition of N-Fluoropyridinium Salts

N-Fluoropyridinium salts with either BF4-, SbF6-, or PF6- as a counteranion were treated with excess base such as triethylamine at room temperature to give 2-fluoropyridine in good yield.This method was succesfully applied to the preparation of 2-fluoropyridine derivatives possessing electron-donating or -withdrawing substituents using substituted N-fluoropyridinium tetrafluoroborates.Pyridine-F2 compounds produced through reactions of pyridines with molecular fluorine were also treated with base to give 2-fluoropyridines but in low yields.These reactions are considered to occur through a carbene mechanism as follows: a novel N-F-containing cyclic carbene (3), generated from the N-fluoropyridinium salts by 2-proton abstraction, reacts with fluorine atoms from counteranions such as BF4-, SbF6-, or PF6-, followed by elimination of F- from the N-F moiety, to yield 2-fluoropyridines.Previously reported findings in reactions of pyridines with molecular fluorine are explained on the basis of this mechanism.
