Unbalanced-Ion-Pair-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Fluorination Using Potassium Fluoride

An unbalanced ion pair promoter (e.g., tetrabutylammonium sulfate), consisting of a bulky and charge-delocalized cation and a small and charge-localized anion, greatly accelerates nucleophilic fluorinations using easy handling KF. We also successfully converted an inexpensive and commercially available ion-exchange resin to the polymer-supported ion pair promoter (A26–SO42–), which could be reused after filtration. Moreover, A26–SO42– can be used in continuous flow conditions. In our conditions, water is well-tolerated.

Fluoro-Substituted Methyllithium Chemistry: External Quenching Method Using Flow Microreactors

The external quenching method based on flow microreactors allows the generation and use of short-lived fluoro-substituted methyllithium reagents, such as fluoromethyllithium, fluoroiodomethyllithium, and fluoroiodostannylmethyllithium. Highly chemoselective reactions have been developed, opening new opportunities in the synthesis of fluorinated molecules using fluorinated organometallics.

Fluorine containing cyclopropanes: Synthesis of aryl substituted all-: cis 1,2,3-trifluorocyclopropanes, a facially polar motif

The syntheses of substituted all-cis-1,2,3-trifluorocyclopropanes are described for the first time. The three fluorines located on each of the cyclopropyl carbons with a stereochemistry where they are all on the same face of the cyclopropane, imparts a significant polarity to the molecule, and the inherent conformational rigidity and lowering of logP makes this motif attractive for exploration as a substituent for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals research.

Decarboxylative fluorination of β-Ketoacids with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) for the synthesis of α-fluoroketones: Substrate scope and mechanistic investigation

Cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3)-mediated decarboxylative fluorination of β-ketoacids using NFSI in the MeCN/H2O mixed solvent system affords α-fluoroketones with a broad scope. Both electron-rich and electron-deficient α-non-substituted β-ketoacids are amenable to this protocol. The mechanistic study indicates that the reaction proceeds through electrophilic fluorination followed by decarboxylation, which is different from the decarboxylative fluorination of normal carboxylic acids.

Exploiting a beast in carbenoid chemistry: Development of a straightforward direct nucleophilic fluoromethylation strategy

The first direct and straightforward nucleophilic fluoromethylation of organic compounds is reported. The tactic employs a fleeting lithium fluorocarbenoid (LiCH2F) generated from commercially available fluoroiodomethane. Precise reaction conditions were developed for the generation and synthetic exploitation of such a labile species. The versatility of the strategy is showcased in ca. 50 examples involving a plethora of electrophiles. Highly valuable chemicals such as fluoroalcohols, fluoroamines, and fluoromethylated oxygenated heterocycles could be prepared in very good yields through a single synthetic operation. The scalability of the reaction and its application to complex molecular architectures (e.g., steroids) are documented.

Exploiting a Difference in Leaving Group Ability: An Approach to β-Substituted Monofluoroalkenes Using gem-Chlorofluoropropenes

The superior nucleofuge character of chlorine over fluorine was taken advantage of in the selective SN2′ substitution reaction of gem-chlorofluoropropenes, allowing for the clean formation of β-substituted monofluoroalkenes under metal-free conditions. Numerous N-, S-, O-, and C-nucleophiles behaved nicely in this system. Further synthetic transformations of selected monofluoroalkenes were also accomplished.

Palladium-catalyzed direct mono-α-arylation of α-fluoroketones with aryl halides or phenyl triflate

A palladium catalyzed Negishi-type α-arylation of α-fluoroketones with electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl halides or phenyl triflate has been developed. This direct mono-α-arylation method generate a variety of ternary α-aryl-α-monofluoroketones easily in good to excellent yields using XPhos as ligand and Cs2CO3as mild base.

Synthesis of α-Fluoroketones from Vinyl Azides and Mechanism Interrogation

An efficient and mild fluorination of vinyl azides for the synthesis of α-fluoroketones is described. The mechanistic studies indicated that a single-electron transfer (SET) and a subsequent fluorine atom transfer process could be involved in the reaction.

One-Pot Synthesis of α-Fluoroketones and 3-Fluoro-2,4-diaryl-furans from Trifluoromethyl β-Diketones via Decarboxylation

A facile and mild one-pot protocol via decarboxylation of trifluoromethyl β-diketones has been developed for the construction of α-fluoroketones and 3-fluoro-2,4-diarylfurans which are important units in many biologically active compounds and useful precursors in a variety of functional-group transformations.

TAMING ELEMENTAL FLUORINE: INDIRECT USE OF FLUORINE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF α-FLUOROKETONES

Fluorine and sodium trifloroacetate react at -75 deg to produce a variety of fluoroxy-compounds.Although it is possible to direct the reaction towards the formation of CF3COOF or CF3CF2O, mixtures may be used when only the electrophilic fluorine has to be
