Rapid and column-free syntheses of acyl fluorides and peptides usingex situgenerated thionyl fluoride

Thionyl fluoride (SOF2) was first isolated in 1896, but there have been less than 10 subsequent reports of its use as a reagent for organic synthesis. This is partly due to a lack of facile, lab-scale methods for its generation. Herein we report a novel protocol for theex situgeneration of SOF2and subsequent demonstration of its ability to access both aliphatic and aromatic acyl fluorides in 55-98% isolated yields under mild conditions and short reaction times. We further demonstrate its aptitude in amino acid couplings, with a one-pot, column-free strategy that affords the corresponding dipeptides in 65-97% isolated yields with minimal to no epimerization. The broad scope allows for a wide range of protecting groups and both natural and unnatural amino acids. Finally, we demonstrated that this new method can be used in sequential liquid phase peptide synthesis (LPPS) to afford tri-, tetra-, penta-, and decapeptides in 14-88% yields without the need for column chromatography. We also demonstrated that this new method is amenable to solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), affording di- and pentapeptides in 80-98% yields.

Deoxyfluorination of Carboxylic Acids with KF and Highly Electron-Deficient Fluoroarenes

A deoxyfluorination reaction of carboxylic acids using potassium fluoride (KF) and highly electron-deficient fluoroarenes is reported here, giving acyl fluorides in moderate to excellent yield (57-92% based on NMR integration and 34-95% for isolated examples).

METHOD AND REAGENT FOR DEOXYFLUORINATION

A safe, simple, and selective method and reagent for deoxyfluorination is disclosed. With the method and reagent disclosed herein, organic compounds such as carboxylic acids, carboxylates, carboxylic acid anhydrides, aldehydes, and alcohols can be fluorinated by using the most common nucleophilic fluorinating reagents and electron deficient fluoroarenes as mediators under mild conditions, giving corresponding fluoroorganic compounds in excellent yield with a wide range of functional group compatibility and easy product purification. For example, directly utilizing KF for deoxyfluorination of carboxylic acids provides the most economical and the safest pathway to access acyl fluorides, key intermediates for syntheses of peptide, amide, ester, and dry fluoride salts.

Halide-Accelerated Acyl Fluoride Formation Using Sulfuryl Fluoride

Herein, we report a new one-pot sequential method for SO2F2-mediated nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions starting from carboxylic acids. A mechanistic study revealed that SO2F2-mediated acid activation proceeds via the anhydride, which is then converted to the corresponding acyl fluoride. Tetrabutylammonium chloride or bromide accelerate the formation of acyl fluoride. Optimized halide-accelerated conditions were used to synthesize acyl fluorides in 30-80percent yields, and esters, amides, and thioesters in 72-96percent yields without reoptimization for each nucleophile.

Direct Access to Acyl Fluorides from Carboxylic Acids Using a Phosphine/Fluoride Deoxyfluorination Reagent System

A fast and simple method for deoxyfluorination of carboxylic acids is presented. The protocol employs commodity chemicals (PPh3, NBS, fluoride), affording products in excellent yields under mild conditions. Acyloxyphosphonium ion, the key reaction intermediate, was identified by NMR spectroscopic methods. Br?nsted acidic conditions are essential for efficient C-F bond formation. The protocol displays scalability, high functional group tolerance, chemoselectivity, and easy purification of products. Deoxyfluorination of active pharmaceutical ingredients was established.

Enantioselective acylation of silyl ketene acetals through fluoride anion-binding catalysis

A highly enantioselective acylation of silyl ketene acetals with acyl fluorides has been developed to generate useful α,α-disubstituted butyrolactone products. This transformation is promoted by a new thiourea catalyst and 4-pyrrolidinopyridine and represents the first example of enantioselective thiourea anion-binding catalysis with fluoride.

General and Highly Efficient Syntheses of m-Fluoro Arenes Using Potassium Fluoride-Exchange Method

Tetraphenylphosphonium bromide was found to be a suitable catalyst for the reaction of m-nitroaryl derivatives carrying cyano, nitro, chlorocarbonyl, trifluoromethyl, and chlorosulfonyl groups with potassium fluoride in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of phthaloyl dichloride, giving the corresponding m-fluoro aromatic derivatives in good yields.The catalyst was also found to be efficient for the fluorodesulfonylation of m-(fluorosulfonyl)aryl derivatives to afford m-fluoro arenes by the use of a reaction-distillation technique.

Tetraphenylphosphonium Bromide Catalyzed Fluorodenitrations and Fluorodesulfonylations. Efficient Syntheses of m-Fluoroaromatic Compounds

Meta-fluoroaromatic compounds were effectively synthesized from m-nitroaromatic or m-fluorosulfonylaromatic compounds by replacement reaction with potassium fluoride in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetraphenylphosphonium bromide.

The Relationship between 19F Substituent Chemical Shifts and Electron Densities: meta- and para-Substituted Benzoyl Fluorides

The 19F substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of meta- and para-benzoyl fluorides are found to correlate well with substituent parameters using the dual substituent parameter (DSP) equation, indicating that they reflect electronic perturbations induced by the substituent.The direction of the SCS values is such that donating substituents cause upfield shifts whilst acceptors cause downfield shifts.STO-3G calculations indicate that substituents induce only very small changes in ?-electron density about the fluorine atom, but that these changes correlate reasonably well with the observed SCS values.For the para series, the slope of the relationship between Δq?F and 19F SCS is 5000 ppm/electron, indicating the great sensitivity of the fluorine atom to small changes in electron density.
