Selective modification of heteroatom-containing aromatic structures is in high demand as it permits rapid evaluation of molecular complexity in advanced intermediates. Inspired by the selectivity of deaminases in nature, herein we present a simple methodology that enables the NH2 groups in aminoheterocycles to be conceived as masked modification handles. With the aid of a simple pyrylium reagent and a cheap chloride source, C(sp2)?NH2 can be converted into C(sp2)?Cl bonds. The method is characterized by its wide functional group tolerance and substrate scope, allowing the modification of >20 different classes of heteroaromatic motifs (five- and six-membered heterocycles), bearing numerous sensitive motifs. The facile conversion of NH2 into Cl in a late-stage fashion enables practitioners to apply Sandmeyer- and Vilsmeier-type transforms without the burden of explosive and unsafe diazonium salts, stoichiometric transition metals or highly oxidizing and unselective chlorinating agents.

Aryl and heteroaryl fluorides are growing to be dominant motifs in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, yet they are rare in both nature and commodity chemicals. As a consequence, there is an increasingly urgent need to develop mild, cost-effective, and scalable methods for fluorination. The most straightforward route to synthesize aryl fluorides is through the halide exchange "halex"reaction, but conditions, cost, and atom economy preclude most available methods from large-scale manufacturing processes. We report a new approach that leverages the cooperative action of 18-crown-6 ether and tetramethylammonium chloride to catalytically access the reactivity of tetramethylammonium fluoride and achieve halex fluorinations under mild conditions with operational ease. The described methodology readily converts both heteroaryl chlorides and aryl triflates to their corresponding (hetero)aryl fluorides in high yields and purities.

A rhodium complex catalyzed the conversion of the C-O bond of heteroaryl aryl ethers to the C-F bond. The reaction of (4-chlorophenylthio)pentafluorobenzene with heteroaryl aryl ethers provided heteroaryl fluorides and heteroaryl (4-chlorophenylthio)tetrafluorophenyl ethers; this involved the cleavage of a single heteroaryl C-O bond under equilibrium conditions. The reaction of heteroaryl aryl ethers with 2-fluorobenzothiazole in which two heteroaryl and aryl C-O bonds were cleaved provided heteroaryl fluorides and aryl fluorides. The reactions were applicable to five-membered and six-membered heteroaryl aryl ethers and also to diaryl ethers possessing one or two electron-withdrawing groups.
