SYNTHESIS OF THE CYANOHYDRIN OF METHYL PERFLUOROHEPTYL KETONE AND REACTION OF THE KETONE WITH HYDROGEN CYANIDE
Kondo, A.,Iwatsuki, S.
, p. 59 - 68 (1984)
The cyanohydrin of methyl perfluoroheptyl ketone 2 was able to be synthesized by a two-step process, i.e., an addition of sodium bisulfite and subsequent treatment with sodium cyanide.When equimolar amounts of ketone 2 and sodium cyanide were reacted in water or dipolar aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran, cyclic addition products composed of two molecules of ketone 2 and one molecule of hydrogen cyanide were exclusively formed as 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(perfluoroheptyl)-4-oxazolidone 6 and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(per fluoroheptyl)-1,3-dioxolane-4-one 7 instead of the cyanohydrin of ketone 2.It is conceivable that a solubility characteristic of a compound carrying a long perfluoroalkyl group is responsible for the exclusive formation of cyclic compounds 6 and 7.

Intermolecular cycloadditions of conjugated dienes and nitrene precursors usually produce aziridines. A generally useful method was lacking to directly provide the [4+1] cycloadducts, 3-pyrrolines. We have realized this transformation by using an uniquely active catalyst, copper(II) 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate ([Cu(hfacac)2]). The method is applicable to a wide array of dienes with good yields. When 1,4-disubsituted dienes are used as substrates, good-to-excellent cis or trans selectivity can be obtained. Interestingly, the cis or trans preference depends on the nature of the substituents, rather than diene geometry. Mechanistic studies reveal that the [4+1] cycloaddition proceeds through diene aziridination and subsequent ring expansion. Among common copper catalysts, only [Cu(hfacac)2] can efficiently catalyze both steps, which explains the unique efficiency of the catalyst.
Wacker oxidation of alkenes using a fluorous biphasic system. A mild preparation of polyfunctional ketones
Betzemeier, Bodo,Lhermitte, Frederic,Knochel, Paul
, p. 6667 - 6670 (2007/10/03)
Various alkenes are oxidized to the corresponding ketones using t-BuOOH in the presence of a palladium(II) catalyst bearing perfluorinated ligands using a biphasic solvent system of benzene and bromoperfluorooctane.
