Visible-Light photoredox decarboxylation of perfluoroarene iodine(III) Trifluoroacetates for C-H trifluoromethylation of (Hetero)arenes

A scalable and operationally simple decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes with easily accessible C6F5I(OCOCF3)2 under photoredox catalysis has been developed. This method is tolerant of various (hetero)arenes and functional groups. Notably, C6F5I is recycled from the decarboxylation reaction and further used for the preparation of C6F5I(OCOCF3)2. The combination of photoredox catalysis and hypervalent iodine reagent provides a practical approach for the application of trifluoroacetic acid in trifluoromethylation reactions.

Continuous process for the production of polybromopyridine compounds

A continuous process for producing a polybromopyridine compound comprises admixing a polychloropyridine compound with an anhydrous water soluble solvent in a first reaction zone to form a solution of the polychloropyridine compound. Hydrogen bromide gas is introduced into the solution while maintaining the temperature in the range of from about 70° to about 140° C. to produce a solution of the polybromopyridine compound. The solution is cooled to a temperature in the range of from about 5° to about 35° C. to precipitate the polybromopyridine compound from the anhydrous solvent. The polybromopyridine compound is separated from the anhydrous solvent and the anhydrous solvent is returned to the first reaction zone. Polybromopyridine compounds of increased purity are produced in a process having reduced material, energy and operating costs. The process does not require the use of water or other co-solvents nor the distillation of the reaction product mixture.
