Alkoxide- and hydroxide-induced nucleophilic trifluoromethylation using trifluoromethyl sulfone or sulfoxide

(Matrix presented) The first alkoxide- and hydroxide-induced nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds, disulfides, and other electrophiles, using phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfone 1a (sulfoxide 1b) is reported. The trifluoromethyl sulfone 1a or sulfoxide 1b acts as a CF3 - synthon. Both sulfone 1a and sulfoxide 1b are commercially available and can also be conveniently prepared from trifluoromethane. The new methodology provides a convenient route for efficient trifluoromethylation.

Fluorine-18 labelled Ruppert-Prakash reagent ([18F]Me3SiCF3) for the synthesis of 18F-trifluoromethylated compounds

This article describes the first synthesis and application of fluorine-18 labelled Ruppert-Prakash reagent [18F]Me3SiCF3. [18F]Me3SiCF3 was synthesized from [18F]fluoroform with radiochemical yields of 85-95% and radiochemical purities of >95% within 20 m

Gas/Liquid-Phase Micro-Flow Trifluoromethylation using Fluoroform: Trifluoromethylation of Aldehydes, Ketones, Chalcones, and N-Sulfinylimines

A micro-flow nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds using gaseous fluoroform was developed. This method also allows the first micro-flow transformation of N-sulfinylimines into trifluoromethyl amines with excellent diastereoselectivity. To demonstrate the synthetic utility of this micro-flow synthesis, the formal micro-flow synthesis of Efavirenz is described.

Development of (Trifluoromethyl)zinc Reagent as Trifluoromethyl Anion and Difluorocarbene Sources

The trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds is accomplished by the stable (trifluoromethyl)zinc reagent generated and then isolated from CF3I and ZnEt2, which can be utilized as a trifluoromethyl anion source (CF3-). The reaction proceeds smoothly with diamine as a ligand and ammonium salt as an initiator, providing the corresponding trifluoromethylated alcohol products. Moreover, the (trifluoromethyl)zinc reagent can also be employed as a difluorocarbene source (:CF2) not only for gem-difluoroolefination of carbonyl compounds with phosphine but also for gem-difluorocyclization of alkenes or alkynes via the thermal decomposition, respectively.

Efficient synthesis of [18F]trifluoromethane and its application in the synthesis of PET tracers

A new strategy towards [18F]trifluoromethyl-containing compounds is developed. [18F]trifluoromethane is synthesised in a fast and efficient manner and subsequently used in the reaction with aldehydes and ketones forming [18/sup

Taming of fluoroform: Direct nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of Si, B, S, and C centers

Fluoroform (CF3H), a large-volume by-product of the manufacture of Teflon, refrigerants, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), fire-extinguishing agents, and foams, is a potent and stable greenhouse gas that has found little practical use despite the growing importance of trifluoromethyl (CF3) functionality in more structurally elaborate pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. Direct nucleophilic trifluoromethylation using CF3H has been a challenge. Here, we report on a direct trifluoromethylation protocol using close to stoichiometric amounts of CF3H in common organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethyl ether, and toluene. The methodology is widely applicable to a variety of silicon, boron, and sulfur-based electrophiles, as well as carbon-based electrophiles.

Hyperbranched polymers with controlled degree of branching from 0 to 100%

A linear polymer, hyperbranched polymers with various degrees of branching, and 100% hyperbranched polymers were successfully synthesized by self-polycondensation of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-[4-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)phenyl]ethanone by using different amounts of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid from the same AB2 monomer.

The rhodium-catalysed 1,2-addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes and ketones with sulfonated S-Phos

The rhodium-catalysed 1,2-addition of arylboronic acids to aryl aldehydes has been accomplished in high yield using sulfonated S-Phos, a water-soluble biaryl phosphine ligand which allows for catalyst recycling. The catalytic protocol has also been successful in the challenging arylation of ketones.

Substituent effects on the solvolysis of 1,1-diphenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl tosylates. Part III. Effects of electron-donating substituents in the fixed aryl moiety

The solvolysis rates of 1-ary1-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl and 1-aryl-1-(p-phenoxyphenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl bromides and chlorides were conductimetrically measured at 25.0°C in 80% aqueous ethanol. The solvolysis rates of 1-(p-methylphenyl)-fixed series were also set up to analyze the substituent effect. The substituent effects on these Y-series of solvolyses were analyzed on the basis of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation. The p-methoxyphenyl-fixed series showed a linear correlation with p= -1.7 and r = 1.0 for the substituent range less reactive than p-Me including all meta substituents, and a discrete correlation with p = -3.9 and r = 1.26 for the strong π-donor class substituents more reactive than p-PhO. A similar bilinear correlation was obtained for the Y =p-PhO series. The partial correlations for the strong π-donor class substituents in both Y-series are nearly the same as the correlation p= -4.2 and r= 1.2 for symmetrically disubstituted (X = Y) series. These bilinear (or non-linear) correlations were explicable in terms of changes in the coplanarity of the two benzene rings depending upon the resonance capabilities of X and Y substituents. For strong π-donor class X substituents as strongly π-electron donating as the Y substituent, both aryl rings are equivalently twisted as in the symmetrical X = Y series, and for less electron-donating X substituents, the fixed p-methoxyphenyl (or p-phenoxyphenyl) ring remains in a coplanar conformation and X-phenyl is twisted more out of coplanarity. In the fixed Y=p-Me series, a significantly non-linear correlation was found, comprising three distinct correlations characteristic of three conformers, a conformer with the X-aryl coplanar and Y-aryl twisted, a symmetrical conformer with X being a weak or moderate π-electron donor and both aryls being equivalently twisted, and a conformer with Y-aryl coplanar and X-aryl twisted. The relative stabilities of these conformers, were estimated by the ab initio MO optimization of the mono-p-methoxycarbenium ion, confirming the conclusions above. Copyright
