Conversion between difluorocarbene and difluoromethylene ylide

The interconversion between difluoromethylene ylide and difluorocarbene is described. The difluoromethylene ylide precursor, Ph3P +CF2CO2-, could be turned into an efficient difluorocarbene reagent, w

Palladium-Catalyzed Fluoroarylation of gem-Difluoroalkenes

A Pd-catalyzed fluoroarylation of gem-difluoroalkenes with aryl halides is reported. By taking advantage of the in situ generated α-CF3-benzylsilver intermediates derived from the nucleophilic addition of silver fluoride to gem-difluoroalkenes, this strategy bypasses the use of a strong base, thus enabling a mild and general synthetic method for ready access to non-symmetric α,α-disubstituted trifluoroethane derivatives.

Synthesis of 2,2-Difluorinated 4-Isoflavanols/4-Thioisoflavanols via a Base-Catalyzed [4 + 2] Annulation Reaction of gem-Difluoroolefins

DBU-catalyzed sequential intermolecular and intramolecular nucleophilic addition reactions between gem-difluoroolefins and o-hydroxy/mercapto benzaldehydes have been developed to provide a [4 + 2] annulation strategy for facile synthesis of gem-difluorinated isoflavanol derivatives. The competitive addition-elimination reaction of gem-difluoroolefins with nucleophiles was avoided under mild conditions, affording 2,2-difluorinated 4-isoflavanols or 2,2-difluoriated 4-thioisoflavanols in good to excellent yields.

A three-component synthesis of aryl(heteroaryl)acylamides

A three-component reaction of azole or azine N-oxides, 1,1-difluorostyrenes and amines gives amides of α-aryl-α-heteroarylacetic or propionic acids. The key step is 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between N-oxide and difluorostyrene leading to the acyl fluoride intermediate, which has been identified and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The whole process is an example of selective functionalization of C-H bonds in both 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic systems.

Synthesis of alkyl aryl(heteroaryl)acetates from N-oxides, 1,1-difluorostyrenes, and alcohols

Derivatives of aryl(heteroaryl)acetic acids or aryl(heteroaryl)methanes are formed from imidazole or thiazole N-oxide, 1,1-difluorostyrene, and an alcohol, amine, or water in a three-component reaction, which probably occurs via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.

Synthesis and decarboxylative Wittig reaction of difluoromethylene phosphobetaine

A key intermediate, difluoromethylene phosphobetaine, in the Wittig reaction of ClCF2CO2Na-Ph3P with aldehydes was synthesized and characterized, which confirmed the reaction mechanism. The decarboxylation of this stable intermediate was a convenient approach for Wittig difluroolefination. Its reactivity could be adjusted by the modification of the substituent on the phosphorus.
