Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation of Trifluoroacetyl Amides with Grignard Reagents via C(O)-CF3 Bond Cleavage

The reaction of trifluoroacetyl amides with Grignard reagent for the substitution of CF3 group with various alkyl or aryl groups is described. A variety of aryl, quinolin-8-yl, and (hetero)alkyl functional groups as well as F, Cl, and Br atoms are well tolerated. These moisture-stable and easily available trifluoroacetyl amides can be conveniently obtained and used as new versatile precursors for isocyanates. The control experiments show that the reaction proceeds via an isocyanate intermediate and/or alkoxide/amide dual anionic intermediate.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING TRIFLUOROMETHYL GROUP-CONTAINING ALCOHOLS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing trifluoromethyl group-containing alcohols useful as synthetic intermediates for medicines and agrochemicals. SOLUTION: This invention relates to a method for producing trifluoromethyl group-containing alcohols expressed by a formula (2), comprising: making carbonyl compounds expressed by a formula (1) react with trifluoromethane in an organic solvent in the presence of polyvalent ethers and potassium tert-butoxide, or kalium hexamethyldisilazide. (R1 and R2 are each independently a phenyl group etc.; R2 may combine with R1, to form a ring, and both R1 and R2 are not hydrogen atoms). SELECTED DRAWING: None COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPOandINPIT

DIRECT TRIFLUOROMETHYLATIONS USING TRIFLUOROMETHANE

A direct trifluoromethylation method preferably using a trifluoromethane as a fluoro-methylating species. In particular, the present method is used for preparing a trifluoromethylated substrate by reacting a fluoromethylatable substrate with a trifiuoromethylating agent in the presence of an alkoxide or metal salt of silazane under conditions sufficient to trifluoromethylate the substrate; wherein the fluoromethylatable substrate includes chlorosilanes, carbonyl compounds such as esters, aryl halides, aldehydes, ketones, chalcones, alkyl formates, alkyl halides, aryl halides, alkyl borates, carbon dioxide or sulfur.

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.

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.

METHODS FOR NUCLEOPHILIC FLUOROMETHYLATION

A novel, convenient and efficient method for trifluoromethylation of substrate compounds is disclosed. Particularly, alkoxide and hydroxide induced nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds, disulfides and other electrophiles, using phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfone PhSO2CF3 (or sulfoxide PhSOCF3) is disclosed. A method of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical anti-2,2-difluoropropan-1,3-diols with high diastereoselectivity (up to 94 % de) is disclosed using dufluoromethyl phenyl sulfone. This unusual type of high diastereoselectivity was obtained via an intramolecular charge-charge repulsion effect rather than the traditional steric control (based on the Cram's rule). Thus, difluoromethyl phenyl sulfone can be used as a novel difluoromethylene dianion species (`CF2""), which can couple two electrophiles (such as diphenyl disulfide or non-enolizable aldehydes) to give new difluoromethylenated products.

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.
