Efficient SN2 fluorination of primary and secondary alkyl bromides by copper(I) fluoride complexes

Copper(I) fluoride complexes ligated by phenanthroline derivatives have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. These complexes adopt as either ionic or neutral forms in the solid state, depending on the steric bulkiness of the substituent groups on the phenanthroline ligands. These complexes react with primary and secondary alkyl bromides to produce the corresponding alkyl fluorides in modest to good yields. This new method is compatible with a variety of important functional groups such as ether, thioether, amide, nitrile, methoxyl, hydroxyl, ketone, ester, and heterocycle moieties.

Diversity-Oriented Synthesis of Aliphatic Fluorides via Reductive C(sp3)?C(sp3) Cross-Coupling Fluoroalkylation

Monofluorinated alkyl compounds are of great importance in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Herein, we describe a direct nickel-catalyzed monofluoromethylation of unactivated alkyl halides using a low-cost industrial raw material, bromofluoromethane, by demonstrating a general and efficient reductive cross-coupling of two alkyl halides. Results with 1-bromo-1-fluoroalkane also demonstrate the viability of monofluoroalkylation, which further established the first example of reductive C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling fluoroalkylation. These transformations demonstrate high efficiency, mild conditions, and excellent functional-group compatibility, especially for a range of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Mechanistic studies support a radical pathway. Kinetic studies reveal that the reaction is first-order dependent on catalyst and alkyl bromide whereas the generation of monofluoroalkyl radical is not involved in the rate-determining step. This strategy provides a general and efficient method for the synthesis of aliphatic fluorides.

Promising fungicides from allelochemicals: Synthesis of umbelliferone derivatives and their structure–activity relationships

Umbelliferone was discovered to be an important allelochemical in our previous study, but the contribution of its activity and structure has not yet been revealed. In this study, a series of analogues were synthesized to determine the skeleton of umbelliferone and examine its fungicidal activity. Furthermore, targeted modifications were conducted with three plant parasitic fungi to examine the lead compounds. Among those tested, compounds 2f and 10 were found to show excellent antifungal activity with an inhibitory rate over 80% at 100 ug/mL. The study proves that umbelliferone can be a promising skeleton for fungicides discovery. In addition, the primary structure–activity relationship provides a good guidance for the discovery of novel fungicides based on natural products in the future.

Copper-Catalyzed Regioselective Hydroalkylation of 1,3-Dienes with Alkyl Fluorides and Grignard Reagents

Copper complexes generated in situ from CuCl2, alkyl Grignard reagents, and 1,3-dienes play important roles as catalytic active species for the 1,2-hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes by alkyl fluorides through C-F bond cleavage. The alkyl group is introduced to an internal carbon atom of the 1,3-diene regioselectively, thus giving rise to the branched terminal alkene product. Making the switch: A copper-hydride species, generated by the treatment of a copper salt with alkyl Grignard reagents, catalyzes the 1,2-hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes by alkyl fluorides and Grignard reagents. The alkyl group of the alkyl fluoride is selectively introduced to an internal carbon atom of the 1,3-diene and the Grignard reagent acts as hydride source to give the branched terminal alkene, even in the presence of alkenes and alkynes.

Efficient nucleophilic fluoromethylation and subsequent transformation of alkyl and benzyl halides using fluorobis(phenylsulfonyl)methane

An efficient methodology for the nucleophilic fluoromethylation of alkyl and benzyl halides using r-fluoro-α-(phenylsulfonyl)methane (1) as a highly versatile reagent is reported. Using benzyl halides, stereospecific one-pot synthesis of α-fluorovinyl com
