Efficient protocol for the SO2F2-mediated deoxyfluorination of aliphatic alcohols

Alkyl fluorides are prevalent in both the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. As such, there has been significant interest over the past 40 years in the development of new synthetic methods to access these important fluorinated motifs. Herein we report the sulfuryl fluoride-mediated deoxyfluorination of alcohols using room temperature reaction conditions in only an hour. A wide range of primary aliphatic alcohols were efficiently converted to the corresponding fluoride in 46-70% isolated yields. Secondary alcohols were also effectively deoxyfluorinated in 50–92% yields. Chiral secondary alcohols were cleanly converted to the corresponding alkyl fluoride with only a minor deterioration of the enantioenrichment. A steroid derivative also underwent deoxyfluorination in 50% yield and 5.9:1 dr, with the major product resulting from net inversion of the stereocenter.

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.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric Cross-Coupling Reaction of Fluorinated Secondary Benzyl Bromides with Lithium Aryl Boronates/ZnBr2

A cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric cross-coupling of α-bromo-α-fluorotoluene derivatives with a variety of aryl zincates derived from lithium aryl n-butyl pinacol boronates and ZnBr2 under mild reaction conditions was described. In addition to mild reaction conditions, another advantage includes the compatibility of various common functional groups such as fluoride, chloride, bromide, cyano, or ester groups. Furthermore, this protocol was successfully applied to the enantioselective synthesis of three fluorinated derivatives of biologically active compounds or drug molecules.

Nucleophilic (Radio)Fluorination of Redox-Active Esters via Radical-Polar Crossover Enabled by Photoredox Catalysis

We report a redox-neutral method for nucleophilic fluorination of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters using an Ir photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. The method provides access to a broad range of aliphatic fluorides, including primary, secondary, and tertiary benzylic fluorides as well as unactivated tertiary fluorides, that are typically inaccessible by nucleophilic fluorination due to competing elimination. In addition, we show that the decarboxylative fluorination conditions are readily adapted to radiofluorination with [18F]KF. We propose that the reactions proceed by two electron transfers between the Ir catalyst and redox-active ester substrate to afford a carbocation intermediate that undergoes subsequent trapping by fluoride. Examples of trapping with O- and C-centered nucleophiles and deoxyfluorination via N-hydroxyphthalimidoyl oxalates are also presented, suggesting that this approach may offer a general blueprint for affecting redox-neutral SN1 substitutions under mild conditions.

9-Borabicyclo[3.3.l]nonane-induced Friedel-Crafts benzylation of arenes with benzyl fluorides

Friedel-Crafts benzylation of arenes with benzyl fluorides using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.l]nonane (9-BBN) as a mediator has been developed. This provides a simple and cheap route to the activation of C-F bonds to synthesize 1,1-diarylmethanes in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) under mild conditions. Functional group tolerance and the mechanism are considered.

Nickel-catalyzed monofluoromethylation of aryl boronic acids

Aryl boronic acids can be monofluoromethylated under nickel catalysis. The utility of this method is demonstrated by the monofluoromethylation of a borylated and acyl-protected derivative of the statin drug ezetimibe. Mechanistic investigations indicate that a fluoromethyl radical is involved in the NiI/NiIII catalytic cycle.

Catalytic decarboxylative fluorination for the synthesis of Tri- and difluoromethyl arenes

Treatment of readily available α,α-difluoro- and α-fluoroarylacetic acids with Selectfluor under Ag(I) catalysis led to decarboxylative fluorination. This operationally simple reaction gave access to tri- and difluoromethylarenes applying a late-stage fluorination strategy. Translation to [18F]labeling is demonstrated using [ 18F]Selectfluor bis(triflate), a reagent affording [ 18F]tri- and [18F]difluoromethylarenes not within reach with [18F]F2.

Selective Fluorination of Substituted Methanols with Methanesulfonyl Fluoride and Cesium Fluoride as Modified with Crown Ethers

A new combination of methanesulfonyl fluoride and cesium fluoride as modified with 18-crown-6 was demonstrated to be the best for selective fluorination of various benzyl alcohols via nucleophilic substitution.As extended applications of this procedure, ethyl 1-fluoromethylpyrazole-4-carboxylate (6) and N-fluoromethylphthalimide (12) have been synthesized in high yields from the corresponding alcohol (4) and chloride (11) respectively.
