Modular Route to Azaindanes

A convergent radical based route to azaindanes is described, relying on the degenerative addition transfer of various substituted S-(pyridylmethyl)-O-ethyl dithiocarbonates (xanthates) to functional alkenes followed by radical cyclization onto the pyridine ring activated by protonation with trifluoroacetic acid. In one case, a richly decorated cyclohepta[b]pyridine could be assembled swiftly by allowing the first adduct to N-phenylmaleimide to undergo addition to N-allylphthalimide prior to cyclization.

Fluoroform-derived CuCF3 recently discovered in our group exhibits remarkably high reactivity toward aryl and heteroaryl halides, performing best in the absence of extra ligands. A broad variety of iodoarenes undergo smooth trifluoromethylation with the ligandless CuCF3 at 23-50 C to give the corresponding benzotrifluorides in nearly quantitative yield. A number of much less reactive aromatic bromides also have been trifluoromethylated, including pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, and thiazole derivatives as well as aryl bromides bearing electron-withdrawing groups and/or ortho substituents. Only the most electrophilic chloroarenes can be trifluoromethylated, e.g., 2-chloronicotinic acid. Exceptionally high chemoselectivity of the reactions (no side-formation of arenes, biaryls, and C2F5 derivatives) has allowed for the isolation of a large number of trifluoromethylated products in high yield on a gram scale (up to 20 mmol). The CuCF3 reagent is destabilized by CuX coproduced in the reaction, the magnitude of the effect paralleling the Lewis acidity of CuX: CuCl > CuBr > CuI. While SNAr and SRN1 mechanisms are not operational, there is a well-pronounced ortho effect, i.e., the enhanced reactivity of ortho-substituted aryl halides 2-RC6H4X toward CuCF3. Intriguingly, this ortho-effect is observed for R = NO2, COOH, CHO, COOEt, COCH3, OCH3, and even CH3, but not for R = CN. The fluoroform-derived CuCF3 reagent and its reactions with haloarenes provide an unmatched combination of reactivity, selectivity, and low cost.
The direct metalation and subsequent functionalization of trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridines and quinolines

Depending on the choice of the reagent, 2-(trifluoromethyl)-pyridine can be selectively metalated and subsequently carboxylated of otherwise functionalized either at the 3- or at the 6-position. "Optional site selectivity" can also be achieved with 4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, which may be deprotonated either at the 2- or at the 3-position. In contrast, 3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine undergoes nucleophilic addition and ensuing decomposition whatever the base. Depending on the reaction conditions, 2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline displays reactivity toward lithium reagents at its 3-, 4-, or 8-positions, 3-(trifluoromethyl)quinolines at the 2- or 4-positions, and 4-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline at the 2- or 3-positions. It was therefore possible to prepare four trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridinecarboxylic acids (1, 4, 9, and 10) and six trifluoromethyl-substituted quinolinecarboxylic acids (11, 13, 14, 15, 17, and 18) regioisomerically uncontaminated and in a most straightforward way.
