Stereoselective Cobalt-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Arylzinc Chlorides with α-Bromolactones and Related Derivatives

α-Bromolactones bearing a substituent in the β-position undergo a highly trans-diastereoselective arylation with arylzinc chlorides in the presence of 10-20% CoCl2 and 10-20% PPh3 in THF under mild conditions (25 °C, 16 h) leading to

Trifluoromethyl aryl sulfonates (TFMS): An applicable trifluoromethoxylation reagent

Fluorine is probably another favorite hetero-atom for incorporation into small molecules after nitrogen. Among many fluorine-containing groups, trifluoromethyl aryl ethers (ArOCF3) have unique properties in drug design and are difficult to be synthesized, and many different methods were developed to prepare them. A novel one-pot synthesis of o-iodine-aryl trifluoromethyl ethers (ArOCF3I) was described by the reaction of trifluoromethoxylation and iodination with trifluoromethyl aryl sulfonates (TFMS) in this manuscript. The reaction conditions were optimized by screening different solvents, crown ethers, substrates and the ratios and the yields of products were in moderate to high yields (up to 86%).

Practical and metal-free electrophilic aromatic halogenation by interhalogen compounds generated in situ from N-halosuccinimide and catalytic TMSCL

Halomonochloride compounds (ClCl, BrCl, ICl) generated in situ from N-halosuccinimide and catalytic chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl, 0.1 equiv) can efficiently halogenate aromatic compounds to give halogenated products in good to excellent yields and selectivities. The reaction can be carried out at room temperature or at lower temperatures, requires only one hour, is practical to apply to a wide range of substrates, and provides a simple access to a variety of haloarene compounds.
