1,1-Difluoroethyl chloride (CH3CF2Cl), a novel difluoroalkylating reagent for 1,1-difluoroethylation of arylboronic acids

1,1-Difluoroethylated aromatics are of great importance in medicinal chemistry and related fields. 1,1-Difluoroethyl chloride (CH3CF2Cl), a cheap and abundant industrial raw material, is viewed as an ideal 1,1-difluoroethylating reagent, but the direct introduction of the difluoroethyl (CF2CH3) group onto aromatic rings using CH3CF2Cl has not been successfully accomplished. Herein, we disclose a nickel-catalyzed 1,1-difluoroethylation of arylboronic acids with CH3CF2Cl for the synthesis of (1,1-difluoroethyl)arenes.

Bulky Diamine Ligand Promotes Cross-Coupling of Difluoroalkyl Bromides by Iron Catalysis

Although iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with alkyl halides has been well established, the adoption of the reaction for fluoroalkylations has not been reported because traditional catalytic systems often lead to defluorination reactions. Described herein is the investigation of an iron-catalyzed cross-coupling between arylmagnesium bromides and difluoroalkyl bromides with modified N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-ethane-1,2-diamine (TMEDA) as a ligand. The use of this bulky diamine, in which a butylene is substituted at one carbon atom of the ethylene backbone in TMEDA, enables the iron-catalyzed difluoroalkylation under mild reaction conditions with a wide range of difluoroalkyl bromides, including vulnerable bromodifluoromethane, thus providing a general and cost-efficient route for applications in medicinal chemistry.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING (FLUOROALKYL) ARENE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing fluoroalkyl arene, which is important as synthetic raw materials for medicines and functional materials. SOLUTION: A fluoroalkyl arene is produced by the reaction between an aryl metal species represented by formula (2) and a fluoroalkyl halide represented by formula (3) in the presence of a cobalt compound and an ethylenediamine derivative. In the formula (2) shown in the following figure, R11-R15 independently represent H, a C1-C4 alkyl group or the like. In the formula (3): Y-Rf, Y is Cl or the like; Rf is a C2-C3 fluoroalkyl group.

Copper-Mediated Aromatic 1,1-Difluoroethylation with (1,1-Difluoroethyl)trimethylsilane (TMSCF2CH3)

A new method for the formation of 1,1-difluoroethyl copper species (“CuCF2CH3”) with 1,1-difluoroethylsilane (TMSCF2CH3) has been developed. The “CuCF2CH3” species can be applied to the efficient 1,1-difluoroethylation of diaryliodonium salts under mild conditions, affording (1,1-difluoroethyl)arenes in good to excellent yields. This convenient procedure tolerates a wide range of functional groups and thus serves as a practical synthetic tool for the introduction of CF2CH3 group(s) into complex molecules.

Cobalt/diamine-catalyzed 1,1-difluoroethylation and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylation of aryl Grignard reagents with corresponding fluoroalkyl halides

Cobalt/diamine-catalyzed 1,1-difluoroethylation and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylation of aryl Grignard reagents with 1,1-difluoroethyl and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl halides were investigated. With regard to the 1,1-difluoroethylation, 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)-2-methylpropane, which has been rarely used in the cross-coupling reactions, gave the highest yield among the diamine ligands tested. In the 2,2,2-trifluoroethylation, trans-1,2-bis(dimethylamino)cyclohexane provided the desired products in satisfactory yields with not only 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl iodide but also chloride. This Co/diamine catalyst was also effective for the coupling with other partially fluorinated alkyl halides in the presence of appropriate diamine ligands.
