Difluoromethyl bioisostere: Examining the lipophilic hydrogen bond donor concept

There is a growing interest in organic compounds containing the difluoromethyl group, as it is considered a lipophilic hydrogen bond donor that may act as a bioisostere of hydroxyl, thiol, or amine groups. A series of difluoromethyl anisoles and thioanisoles was prepared and their druglike properties, hydrogen bonding, and lipophilicity were studied. The hydrogen bond acidity parameters A (0.085-0.126) were determined using Abraham's solute 1H NMR analysis. It was found that the difluoromethyl group acts as a hydrogen bond donor on a scale similar to that of thiophenol, aniline, and amine groups but not as that of hydroxyl. Although difluoromethyl is considered a lipophilicity enhancing group, the range of the experimental Δlog P(water-octanol) values (log P(XCF2H) - log P(XCH3)) spanned from -0.1 to +0.4. For both parameters, a linear correlation was found between the measured values and Hammett σ constants. These results may aid in the rational design of drugs containing the difluoromethyl moiety.

Radical Difluoromethylation of Thiols with (Difluoromethyl)triphenylphosphonium Bromide

A method for facile difluoromethylation of various thiols using (difluoromethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide under mild reaction conditions is presented. The transformation proceeds in the absence of any transition metal using a bench-stable and readily accessible phosphonium salt. Deuterium labeling experiments and cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal that the difluoromethylation occurs via a SRN1-type mechanism. Substrate scope is broad, and various functional groups are tolerated (OH, NH2, amide, ester).

Visible-Light Photoredox Difluoromethylation of Phenols and Thiophenols with Commercially Available Difluorobromoacetic Acid

A simple and efficient visible-light photoredox one-pot method for difluoromethylation of phenols and thiophenols has been developed. The protocol uses commercially available, inexpensive, and easy handling difluorobromoacetic acid as the difluoromethylating agent, and the diverse O- and S-difluoromethylated products were prepared in good yields with tolerance of many functional groups.

A Route to α-Fluoroalkyl Sulfides from α-Fluorodiaroylmethanes

α,α-Difluorodiaroylmethane can be used as a nucleophilic difluoromethylation reagent for generating α-thioaryl-α,α-difluoroacetophenones (Ar1COCF2SAr) and difluoromethylthiolated arenes (ArSCF2H) under transition-metal-free conditions. The reaction selectivity is mainly dependent on temperature. The method has also been extended to the synthesis of α-thioaryl-α-monofluoroacetophenones using α-monofluorodibenzoylmethane. Moreover, the benzoyl cation derived from α,α-difluorodibenzoylmethane can react with nucleophiles to afford the desired products in a one-pot process.

Direct S-difluoromethylation of thiols using the Ruppert-Prakash reagent Dedicated to Prof. Veronique Gouverneur on the occasion of receiving the ACS Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry.

Direct S-difluoromethylation of aryl and aliphatic thiols using the Ruppert-Prakash reagent is demonstrated. The reaction produces trimethylsilyldifluoromethyl sulfides, which upon cleavage with fluoride produces the difluoromethyl sulfides. The key reaction features are the use of relatively inexpensive and commercially available starting materials, shorter reaction times, ambient temperatures, easy reaction procedure, and selective S-difluoromethylation in the presence of -OH, -NH2 and -CO2H functional groups. Furthermore, one-pot arylthiodifluoromethyl transfer to PhCHO is also demonstrated.

S-, N-, and Se-difluoromethylation using sodium chlorodifluoroacetate

A simple protocol for the difluoromethylation of thiols is reported using chlorodifluoroacetate as the difluoromethylating agent. This cheap reagent undergoes smooth decarboxylation at 95 C to afford difluorocarbene, which can be trapped with a variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic thiols. The reaction is also effective for the difluoromethylation of heterocyclic nitrogen compounds and phenylselenol.

Use of fluoroform as a source of difluorocarbene in the synthesis of difluoromethoxy- and difluorothiomethoxyarenes

Fluoroform, CHF3, a non-ozone-depleting, nontoxic, and inexpensive gas can be used as a difluorocarbene source in a process for the conversion of phenols and thiophenols to their difluoromethoxy and difluorothiomethoxy derivatives. The reactions are carried out at moderate temperatures and atmospheric pressure, using potassium hydroxide as base in a two-phase (water/dioxane or water/acetonitrile) process to provide moderate to good yields of the respective products.
