1,3-Butadiene plays a key role in modern synthetic chemistry and biochemistry because it is a key intermediate in the synthesis of many drugs. A new and effective method for the synthesis of 4-trifluoromethylated 1,3-butadiene through the fluorinated Heck reaction catalyzed by Pd(0) is described. Without additives, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (an inexpensive CF3 structural unit that is harmless to ozone) reacts with enamide to synthesize 4-trifluoromethylated 1,3-butadienes with good yield, high regioselectivity and chemical selectivity, and strong tolerance of substrate functional groups such as alkynes, aldehyde, and ester groups.

Nitro compounds are important intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry and the chemical industry. Herein, the efficient copper-catalyzed [10% Cu(NO3)2·3H2O] nitration of anilides was developed by using TBN (tert-butyl nitrite) as a nitrating reagent to give the corresponding nitro-substituted aromatic products in good to excellent yields. The use of TBN also led to the selective nitration of acrylamides at room temperature to afford only the (E) isomer of the nitration product. A series of anilides and acrylamides with a broad array of functional groups were well-tolerated by this procedure. This synthetic method has many advantages, which include inexpensive starting materials, mild reaction conditions, a fast reaction rate, and high yields. A mechanistic investigation indicates that a nitro radical, which is generated from the thermal homolysis of TBN, is involved in the two nitration processes. The efficient nitration of both anilides and acrylamides was achieved by using TBN (tert-butyl nitrite) as a metal-free nitrating reagent. This synthetic method has many advantages such as mild reaction conditions, a fast reaction rate, good to excellent yields, and a broad substrate scope. Our investigation indicates that a nitro radical is involved in the reaction mechanism.
