Mechanochemical Solvent-Free Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling of Amides via Highly Chemoselective N?C Cleavage

Although cross-coupling reactions of amides by selective N?C cleavage are one of the most powerful and burgeoning areas in organic synthesis due to the ubiquity of amide bonds, the development of mechanochemical, solid-state methods remains a major challe

Photocatalytic trifluoromethoxylation of arenes and heteroarenes in continuous-flow

The first example of photocatalytic trifluoromethoxylation of arenes and heteroarenes under continuous-flow conditions is described. Application of continuous-flow microreactor technology allowed to reduce the residence time up to 16 times in comparison t

Redox-Neutral TEMPO Catalysis: Direct Radical (Hetero)Aryl C?H Di- and Trifluoromethoxylation

Applications of TEMPO. catalysis for the development of redox-neutral transformations are rare. Reported here is the first TEMPO.-catalyzed, redox-neutral C?H di- and trifluoromethoxylation of (hetero)arenes. The reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope, has high functional-group tolerance, and can be employed for the late-stage functionalization of complex druglike molecules. Kinetic measurements, isolation and resubjection of catalytic intermediates, UV/Vis studies, and DFT calculations support the proposed oxidative TEMPO./TEMPO+ redox catalytic cycle. Mechanistic studies also suggest that Li2CO3 plays an important role in preventing catalyst deactivation. These findings will provide new insights into the design and development of novel reactions through redox-neutral TEMPO. catalysis.

Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling of Amides using Well-Defined, Air-Stable [(PR3)2Pd(II)X2] Precatalysts

A versatile method for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of amides using highly active, well-defined, and air-stable Pd?phosphine precatalysts is reported. Most notably, the method represents the first example of using practical and operationally-simple Pd(II)?phosphine precatalysts in the emerging amide bond cross-coupling manifold. The reactions are efficient at 0.10 mol% loading, furnishing biaryl ketones with high chemoselectivity for N?C(O) bond cleavage. This versatile method enables for the first time to achieve Pd?phosphine-catalyzed cross-coupling of amides at ppm loading. This C?N cross-coupling can be used to efficiently furnish pharmaceutical intermediates by orthogonal Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings. We fully expect that operationally-simple [(PR3)2Pd(II)X2] precatalysts as effective triggers for N?C(O) cross-coupling will be of broad synthetic and catalytic interest. (Figure presented.).

Sequential Xanthalation and O-Trifluoromethylation of Phenols: A Procedure for the Synthesis of Aryl Trifluoromethyl Ethers

Molecules containing trifluoromethoxyaryl groups are of interest in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science research, due to their unique physical and electronic properties. Many of the known methods to synthesize aryl trifluoromethyl ethers require harsh reagents and highly controlled reaction conditions and rarely occur when heteroaromatic units are present. The two-step O-trifluoromethylation of phenols via aryl xanthates is one such method that suffers from these drawbacks. Herein, we report a method for the synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl ethers from phenols by the facile conversion of the phenol to the corresponding aryl and heteroaryl xanthates with newly synthesized imidazolium methylthiocarbonothioyl salts and conversion of these xanthates to the trifluoromethyl ethers under mild reaction conditions.

Visible-Light Photoredox-Catalyzed and Copper-Promoted Trifluoromethoxylation of Arenediazonium Tetrafluoroborates

We report the development of photoredox-catalyzed and copper-promoted trifluoromethoxylation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates, with trifluoromethyl arylsulfonate (TFMS) as the trifluoromethoxylation reagent. This new method takes advantage of visible-light photoredox catalysis to generate the aryl radical under mild conditions, combined with copper-promoted selective trifluoromethoxylation. The reaction is scalable, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and proceeds regioselectively under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, mechanistic studies suggested that a Cs[Cu(OCF3)2] intermediate might be generated during the reaction.

Radical Trifluoromethoxylation of Arenes Triggered by a Visible-Light-Mediated N?O Bond Redox Fragmentation

A simple trifluoromethoxylation method enables non-directed functionalization of C?H bonds on a range of substrates, providing access to aryl trifluoromethyl ethers. This light-driven process is distinctly different from conventional procedures and occurs through an OCF3 radical mechanism mediated by a photoredox catalyst, which triggers an N?O bond fragmentation. The pyridinium-based trifluoromethoxylation reagent is bench-stable and provides access to synthetic diversity in lead compounds in an operationally simple manner.

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of diaryl ketones from aldehydes and (hetero)aryl halides via C-H bond activation

We developed a palladium-catalyzed C-H transformation that enabled the synthesis of ketones from aldehydes and (hetero)aryl halides. The use of picolinamide ligands was key to achieving the transformation. Heteroaryl ketones, as well as diaryl ketones, were synthesized in good to excellent yields, even in gram-scale, using this reaction. Results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations support the C-H bond activation pathway.

Fluorodecarboxylation for the Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl Aryl Ethers

The synthesis of mono-, di-, and trifluoromethyl aryl ethers by fluorodecarboxylation of the corresponding carboxylic acids is reported. AgF2induces decarboxylation of aryloxydifluoroacetic acids, and AgF, either generated in situ or added separately, serves as a source of fluorine to generate the fluorodecarboxylation products. The addition of 2,6-difluoropyridine increased the reactivity of AgF2, thereby increasing the range of functional groups and electronic properties of the aryl groups that are tolerated. The reaction conditions used for the formation of trifluoromethyl aryl ethers also served to form difluoromethyl and monofluoromethyl aryl ethers.

18F-Labeling of Aryl-SCF3, -OCF3 and -OCHF2 with [18F]Fluoride

We report that halogenophilic silver(I) triflate permits halogen exchange (halex) nucleophilic 18F-fluorination of aryl-OCHFCl, -OCF2Br and -SCF2Br precursors under mild conditions. This AgI-mediated process allows for the first time access to a range of 18F-labeled aryl-OCHF2, -OCF3 and -SCF3 derivatives, inclusive of [18F]riluzole. The 18F-labeling of these medicinally important motifs expands the radiochemical space available for PET applications. A halogen exchange (halex) 18F-fluorination process offers access for the first time to 18F-labeled arylOCF3, arylOCHF2 and arylSCF3, three motifs of established medicinal importance in PET radiotracers. The use of silver(I) triflate is critical to permit 18F-labeling under mild conditions.
