Silver-catalyzed decarboxylative radical allylation of α,α-difluoroarylacetic acids for the construction of CF2-allyl bonds

An efficient silver-catalyzed method of decarboxylative radical allylation of α,α-difluoroarylacetic acids to build CF2-allyl bonds has been developed. Using allylsulfone as an allyl donor, α,α-difluorine substituted arylacetic acids bearing various functional groups are successfully allylated to access a series of 3-(α,α-difluorobenzyl)-1-propylene compounds in moderate to excellent yields in aqueous CH3CN solution under the mild conditions. Experimental studies disclosed that the α-fluorine substitution of arylacetic acid has a great influence on free radical activity and reactivity.

Copper-catalyzed cascade radical cyclization of alkynoates: Construction of aryldifluoromethylated coumarins

A mild and simple method is reported for the construction of 3-difluoroarylmethylated coumarins using α,α-difluoroarylacetic acids as an easily handled difluoromethyl source in reaction with ester 3-arylpropiolates under the promotion of copper. The reaction involves a proposed radical-triggered domino decarboxylative aryldifluoromethylation/5-exo cyclization/ester migration process that directly forms Csp2-CF2Ar and C-C bonds with good functional group tolerance.

Synthetic method of aromatic ring group or aromatic heterocyclic tetrazole

The synthetic method comprises the following steps: (1) reacting 1.0 eq of ArI or HArI with 1.2 eq of ethyl 2, 2-difluoroacetate in the presence of DMSO as a solvent and 4.0 eq of Cu under the protection of nitrogen at 30 DEG C and 50 DEG C, and purifying to obtain a first intermediate compound; (2) dissolving 1.0 eq of the first intermediate compound in a mixed solvent of THF and water, adding 2.0 eq of LiOH, reacting at room temperature for 2 hours, spin-drying the solvent, adding HCl until the pH value is equal to 3, and filtering to obtain a second intermediate compound; and (3) reacting 1.0 eq of the second intermediate compound with 2.0 eq of diphenyl azide phosphate in the presence of 2.5 eq of triethylamine by taking tert-butyl alcohol as a solvent to generate aromatic ring group or aromatic heterocyclic tetrazole. The invention provides a novel synthetic method of aromatic ring group or aromatic heterocyclic tetrazole, wherein a target compound can be more conveniently obtained, and reagents participating in the reaction are low in toxicity, mild in reaction condition, simple and safe in aftertreatment, good in product quality and suitable for large-scale production.

Fe(III)-Catalyzed Decarboxylative C3-Difluoroarylmethylation of Coumarins with α,α-Difluoroarylacetic Acids

A facile Fe(III)-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative radical coupling reaction of α,α-difluoroarylacetic acids with coumarins has been developed. This transformation, which provides a series of C-3 difluoroarylmethylated coumarins containing various functional groups in moderate-to-good yields, features easily accessible starting materials and operational simplicity.

Controlling the cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds to generate α,α-difluorobenzyl carbanions for the construction of difluoromethylbenzenes

Controlling the cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds during a chemical reaction is a substantial challenge; however, synthetic methods that accomplish this objective produce valuable and often unexplored reactivity. We have designed a mild process to generate α,α-difluorobenzyl carbanions in the presence of potassium carbonate by exploiting the cleavage of C-C bonds during the release of trifluoroacetate. The initiating reagent is potassium carbonate, which represents an improvement over existing protocols that require a strong base. Fragmentation studies across substituted arenes and heteroarenes were conducted along with computational analyses to elucidate reactivity trends. Furthermore, the mildly generated α,α-difluorobenzyl carbanions from electron-deficient aromatics and heteroaromatic rings can react with aldehydes to create derivatives of difluoromethylbenzenes, which are valuable synthetic targets.

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.
