Optimized Synthesis of a Pentafluoro-gem-diol and Conversion to a CF2Br-Glucopyranose through Trifluoroacetate-Release and Halogenation.

ABSTRACT: Pentafluoro-gem-diols are substrates that enable the synthesis of valuable difluoromethylene-containing organic molecules through the release of trifluoroacetate. Currently, only one synthetic strategy is available to assemble these important precursors. Herein, two new synthetic strategies to a complex pentafluoro-gem-diol are compared to the existing route, and an improved synthetic route has completed. Moreover, the first synthesis of a CF2Br-glucopyranose was finished by a tandem trifluoroacetate-release halogenation/cyclization protocol.

Synthesis of ?-halo-?,?-difluoromethyl ketones by a trifluoroacetate release/halogenation protocol.

Project description:Three series of ?-halo-?,?-difluoromethyl ketones are prepared from highly ?-fluorinated gem-diols by exploiting the facile release of trifluoroacetate, followed by immediate trapping of the liberated ?,?-difluoroenolate with an electrophilic chlorine, bromine, or iodine source. The products are typically isolated in good yields, even in the case of sensitive, ?-iodo-?,?-difluoromethyl ketones. Also, we demonstrate that an ?-iodo-?,?-difluoromethyl ketone will participate in a copper-promoted reaction to forge a new carbon-carbon bond.

Gem-diol and Ketone Crystal-to-crystal Transition Phenomena.

Project description:The generally thought unstable diol compound tetrazyl gem-diol (1, H2DTMdiol·2H2O), was firstly obtained in crystalline form by culturing the filtrate for ten days after acidification and filtration of aqueous solution of potassium salt of ketone (2, [K(HDTMone)·2H2O]n). The stability of this novel gem-diol compound is found owning to the hydrogen bonds with lattice water molecules and electrophilic tetrazolyl groups. Meanwhile, the undissolved ketone (3, H2DTMone) was separated during the filtration in the process of gem-diol compound production. Surprisingly, the crystal-to-crystal perfect transition phenomena from gem-diol (1) to ketone (3) were firstly observed after heating up to 120?°C as evidenced by X-ray single crystal diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. These results found here might open new revenues for methylene oxidation and alkanediol chemistry.

Synthesis of gem-Difluoro Olefins through C-H Functionalization and ?-fluoride Elimination Reactions.

Project description:A palladium catalyzed C-H functionalization and consecutive ?-fluoride elimination reaction between indole heterocycles and fluorinated diazoalkanes is reported. This approach provides for the first time a facile method for the rapid synthesis of gem-difluoro olefins using fluorinated diazoalkanes under mild reaction conditions. Cyclopropanation products were obtained when N-arylated rather than N-alkylated indoles were applied in this reaction. Mechanistic studies reveal the importance of the ?-fluoride elimination step in this transformation. This method presents a new concept for the simple and direct transfer of a 1-aryl-(2,2-difluorovinyl) group to access gem-difluoro olefins.

Highly stereocontrolled total synthesis of racemic codonopsinol B through isoxazolidine-4,5-diol vinylation.

Project description:A new highly diastereoselective synthesis of the polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine alkaloid (±)-codonopsinol B and its N-nor-methyl analogue, starting from achiral materials, is presented. The strategy relies on the trans-stereoselective epoxidation of 2,3-dihydroisoxazole with in situ-generated DMDO, the syn-selective α-chelation-controlled addition of vinyl-MgBr/CeCl3 to the isoxazolidine-4,5-diol intermediate, and the substrate-directed epoxidation of the terminal double bond of the corresponding γ-amino-α,β-diol with aqueous hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by phosphotungstic heteropoly acid. Each of the key reactions proceeded with an excellent diastereoselectivity (dr > 95:5). (±)-Codonopsinol B was prepared in 10 steps with overall 8.4% yield. The antiproliferative effect of (±)-codonopsinol B and its N-nor-methyl analogue was evaluated using several cell line models.

Synthesis of Alkyl Halides from Aldehydes via Deformylative Halogenation.

Project description:An unprecedented deformylative halogenation of aldehydes to alkyl halides is presented. Under oxidative conditions, 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP), derived from an aldehyde, generated a C(sp3)- radical that coupled with a halogen radical that was generated from inexpensive and atom-economical halogen sources (NaBr, NaI, or HCl), to yield an alkyl halide. Because of the mild conditions, a wide range of functional groups were tolerated, and excellent site selectivity was achieved.

Shape-controlled synthesis of nanocarbons through direct conversion of carbon dioxide.

Project description:Morphology control of carbon-based nanomaterials (nanocarbons) is critical to practical applications because their physical and chemical properties are highly shape-dependent. The discovery of novel shaped nanocarbons stimulates new development in carbon science and technology. Based on direct reaction of CO2 with Mg metal, we achieved controlled synthesis of several different types of nanocarbons including mesoporous graphene, carbon nanotubes, and hollow carbon nanoboxes. The last one, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported to this date. The method described here allows effective control of the shape and dimensions of nanocarbons through manipulation of reaction temperature. The formation mechanism of nanocarbons is proposed. As a proof of concept, the synthesized nanocarbons are used for electrodes in symmetrical supercapacitors, which exhibit high capacitance and good cycling stability. The reported protocols are instructive to production of nanocarbons with controlled shape and dimensions which are much desirable for many practical applications.
