A general, regiospecific synthetic route to perfluoroalkylated arenes via arenediazonium salts with RFCu(CH3CN) complexes

A mild method of converting arylamines into perfluoroalkylated arenes is described. Relatively stable RFCu(CH3CN) complexes are used as perfluoroalkylating agents, which react smoothly with arenediazonium salts to produce various perfluoroalkylarenes in good yields. Based on the results of clock trapping experiments with diallyl ether, a radical process might be involved in the reaction.

PERFLUOROALKYLATION OF 2-MERCAPTOBENZOTHIAZOLE AND ITS ANALOGUES WITH PERFLUOROALKYL IODIDES BY AN SRN1 REACTION

The thiolates, generated in situ by the reaction of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (1) and its analogues (2) and (3) with sodium hydride, react under UV irradiation with perfluoroalkyl iodides (4)-(8) to give the corresponding heteroaromatic perfluoroalkyl sulfides (9)-(18) in 50-98percent yields.The fact that the UV irradiation increases the conversion of perfluoroalkyl iodides and that the radical scavenger di-tert-butylnitroxide suppresses the reaction demonstrates that the reaction proceeds via an SRN1 mechanism.
