The zinc triflate-catalyzed highly regioselective C-P cross coupling reaction of p-quinol ethers with secondary phosphine oxides is reported. The reaction provides a facile alternative method for the synthesis of 2-phosphinylphenols in good to high yields. Mechanistically, zinc triflate may serve as an oxophilic σ-Lewis acid to activate the C-O bond in p-quinol ether first. Then the regioselective attack of the phosphorus nucleophile at the α-carbon position takes place to form the C-P bond and give the product. In addition, α-alkynyl substituted p-quinol ethers also react with secondary phosphine oxides in the same reaction mode to give 6-alkynyl 2-phosphinylphenols in the presence of the zinc catalyst.

Provided that DMF (or another N,N-dialkylformamide) is present in the reaction medium, at least in a catalytic amount, fluoroform trifluoromethylates efficiently carbonyl compounds, even enolizable ones, when opposed to (TMS)2N- M+, generated in situ from N(TMS)3 and M+ F- or RO- Na+. When F- is used in a catalytic amount, silylated α-(trifluoromethyl)carbinols are obtained: In this case, the four-component system HCF3/N(TMS)3/catalytic F-/catalytic DMF behaves like the Ruppert's reagent, especially as far as nonenolizable carbonyl compounds are concerned (CF3SiMe3 remains more efficient for enolizable carbonyl compounds). This process involves an adduct between DMF and -CF3 which is the true trifluoromethylating agent. In the same way, fluoroform efficiently trifluoromethylates disulfides and diselenides when deprotonated with a strong base selected from t-BuOK or N(SiMe3)3/Me4NF (or TBAT). t-BuOK is more adapted to the trifluoromethylation of awl disulfides whereas N(SiMe3)3/F- is Well suited to that of aliphatic disulfides.
