Straightforward Synthesis of Fluorinated Enals via Photocatalytic α-Perfluoroalkenylation of Aldehydes

(Per)fluorinated substances represent an important compound class with regard to drug design and material chemistry. We found a mild, operationally simple, and inexpensive photocatalytic perfluoroalkenylation reaction giving tetrasubstituted, highly electron-deficient enals straight from aldehydes. This one-step reaction tolerates various functional groups and can be applied to a wide range of substrates giving the products in yields of 52-84%.

Photochemical reactions of alkoxy-containing-alkyl phenylglyoxylates: Remote hydrogen abstraction

A series of alkoxy-containing-alkyl phenylglyoxylates have been synthesized and their photochemical reactions studied. The intention was to probe structural requirements for remote hydrogen abstraction. Products resulting from 1,10- and 1,11-hydrogen abstraction were isolated from the photochemical reactions of 4′-methoxybutyl phenylglyoxylate 3d and 5′-benzyloxypentyl phenylglyoxylate 3h respectively. Products resulting from Norrish Type II and intermolecular hydrogen abstraction reactions were also isolated. Triplet lifetimes of representative compounds were measured by laser flash photolysis.

Hydroxyalkylation with α-Hydroperoxydiazenes. Alcohols from Olefins and Carbonyl Compounds from Enol Ethers

Alkyl(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)diazenes 2a-f were prepared in solution by autoxidation of the corresponding hydrazones of acetone.Thermolysis of the diazenes at 50-80 deg C in alkenes leads to alcohols.For example, 2b decomposes in 1,1-diphenylethene to afford 5-hydroxy-5,5-diphenylpentanenitrile.Alkenes with abstractable allylic hydrogens gave analogous products, but in very low yield.Thermolysis of a diazene 2 in an enol ether solvent leads to an aldehyde or a ketone.Thus, 2a decomposes in 1-ethoxyethene and in 2-methoxypropene to afford, respectively, 4,4,4-trifluorobutanal and 5,5,5-trifluoro-2-pentanone.Yields lie in range from 50percent to 70percent.The thermolysis of 2 in alkenes involves radical intermediates and radical chain hydroxyalkylation of alkene double bonds.In one chain-propagating step, R*, generated from 2, adds to the alkene.The adduct radical so formed propagates by inducing decomposition of 2 by attack at hydroxyl oxygen.According to this mechanism, initial products from enol ethers are hemiacetals or hemiketals which do not survive the reaction conditions but decompose to the corresponding carbonyl compounds.Preliminary evidence for this mechanism is presented.
