The selective electrochemical fluorination of S-alkyl benzothioate and its derivatives.

ABSTRACT: We herein report that the regioselective anodic fluorination of S-alkyl benzothioate and its derivatives in various aprotic solvents using Et3N·nHF (n = 3-5) and Et4NF·nHF (n = 3-5) as supporting electrolyte and a fluorine source successfully provided the corresponding ?-fluorinated products in moderate yields. Dichloromethane containing Et4NF·4HF was found to be the most suitable combination as electrolytic solvent and supporting salt as well as fluorine source for the anodic fluorination. The electrochemical fluorination of cyclic benzothioates such as benzothiophenone was also achieved.

Highly selective electrochemical fluorination of dithioacetal derivatives bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at the position ? to the sulfur atom using poly(HF) salts.

Project description:Anodic fluorination of dithioacetals bearing electron-withdrawing ester, acetyl, amide, and nitrile groups at their ?-positions was comparatively studied using various supporting poly(HF) salts like Et3N·nHF (n = 3-5) and Et4NF·nHF (n = 3-5). In the former two cases, the corresponding ?-fluorination products or fluorodesulfurization products were obtained selectively depending on supporting poly(HF) salts used. In sharp contrast, in the latter two cases, fluorination product selectivity was strongly affected by the electron-withdrawing ability of ?-substituents: A dithioacetal bearing a relatively weak electron-withdrawing amide group provided a fluorodesulfurization product selectively while a dithioacetal having a strongly electron-withdrawing nitrile group gave the ?-fluorination product predominantly regardless of the poly(HF) salts used.

Electrochemical Flash Fluorination and Radiofluorination.

Project description:A new method for rapid late-stage fluorination using the cation pool technique is presented. Fluorination and no-carrier-added radiofluorination of methyl (phenylthio) acetate, methyl 2-(methylthio) acetate, and methyl 2-(ethylthio) acetate were performed. The carbocations formed through electrochemical oxidation were stabilized by using a divided electrochemical cell and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) as the solvent at -20 °C. At the end of electrolysis, either stable-isotope [19F]fluoride or no-carrier-added radioactive [18F]fluoride was added to the reaction mixture to form the fluorinated or radiofluorinated product.

Copper-Catalyzed Electrochemical C-H Fluorination.

Project description:We report the systematic development of an electrooxidative methodology that translates stoichiometric C-H fluorination reactivity of an isolable CuIII fluoride complex into a catalytic process. The critical challenges of electrocatalysis with a highly reactive CuIII species were addressed by the judicious selection of electrolyte, F- source, and sacrificial electron acceptor. Catalyst-controlled C-H fluorination occurs with a preference for hydridic C-H bonds with high bond dissociation energies over weaker but less hydridic C-H bonds. The selectivity is driven by an oxidative asynchronous proton-coupled elelctron transfer (PCET) at an electrophilic CuIII-F complex. We further demonstrate that the asynchronicity factor of hydrogen atom transfer η can be used as a guideline to rationalize the selectivity of C-H fluorination.

Palladium(III)-catalyzed fluorination of arylboronic acid derivatives.

Project description:A practical, palladium-catalyzed synthesis of aryl fluorides from arylboronic acid derivatives is presented. The reaction is operationally simple and amenable to multigram-scale synthesis. Evaluation of the reaction mechanism suggests a single-electron-transfer pathway, involving a Pd(III) intermediate that has been isolated and characterized.

Electron-Transfer-Enabled Concerted Nucleophilic Fluorination of Azaarenes: Selective C-H Fluorination of Quinolines.

Project description:Direct C-H fluorination is an efficient strategy to construct aromatic C-F bonds, but the cleavage of specific C-H bonds in the presence of other functional groups and the high barrier of C-F bond formation make the transformation challenging. Progress for the electrophilic fluorination of arenes has been reported, but a similar transformation for electron-deficient azaarenes has remained elusive due to the high energy of the corresponding Wheland intermediates. Nucleophilic fluorination of electron-deficient azaarenes is difficult owing to the identity of the Meisenheimer intermediate after fluoride attack, from which fluoride elimination to regenerate the substrate is favored over hydride elimination to form the product. Herein, we report a new concept for C-H nucleophilic fluorination without the formation of azaarene Meisenheimer intermediates through a chain process with an asynchronous concerted F--e--H+ transfer. The concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution strategy allows for the first successful nucleophilic oxidative fluorination of quinolines.

In this study, a new electrophilic stereo-selective fluorination methodology at C24 and C22 positions of the vitamin D3 side-chain was developed using N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) and CD-ring imides with an Evans chiral auxiliary (26,27,30).

Direct heterobenzylic fluorination, difluorination and trifluoromethylthiolation with dibenzenesulfonamide derivatives.

Project description:Functionalization of heterocyclic scaffolds with mono- or difluoroalkyl groups provides unique opportunities to modulate drug pKa, influence potency and membrane permeability, and attenuate metabolism. While advances in the addition of fluoroalkyl radicals to heterocycles have been made, direct C(sp3)-H heterobenzylic fluorination is comparatively unexplored. Here we demonstrate both mono- and difluorination of a range of alkyl heterocycles using a convenient process that relies on transient sulfonylation by the electrophilic fluorinating agent N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide. We also report heterobenzylic trifluoromethylthiolation and 18F-fluorination, providing a suite of reactions for late-stage C(sp3)-H functionalization of drug leads and radiotracer discovery.

Electrochemical Fluorination and Radiofluorination of Methyl(phenylthio)acetate Using Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride (TBAF).

Project description:Electrochemical fluorination of methyl(phenylthio)acetate was achieved using tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF). Electrochemical fluorination was performed under potentiostatic anodic oxidation using an undivided cell in acetonitrile containing TBAF and triflic acid. The influence of several parameters including: oxidation potential, time, temperature, sonication, TBAF concentration and triflic acid concentration on fluorination efficiency were studied. It was found that the triflic acid to TBAF concentration ratio plays a key role in the fluorination efficiency. Electrochemical fluorination resulted in formation of mono-fluorinated methyl 2-fluoro-2-(phenylthio)acetate verified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. Under optimum conditions 44 ± 3% mono fluorination yield was obtained after a 30 min electrolysis. Electrochemical radiofluorination for the synthesis of methyl 2-[18F]fluoro-2-(phenothio) acetate was also achieved with the same optimized electrochemical cell parameters where TBAF was first passed through an anion exchange resin containing fluorine-18. A radiochemical fluorination efficiency of 7 ± 1% was achieved after 30 min of electrolysis.

Facile and general electrochemical deuteration of unactivated alkyl halides.

Project description:Herein, a facile and general electroreductive deuteration of unactivated alkyl halides (X = Cl, Br, I) or pseudo-halides (X = OMs) using D2O as the economical deuterium source was reported. In addition to primary and secondary alkyl halides, sterically hindered tertiary chlorides also work very well, affording the target deuterodehalogenated products with excellent efficiency and deuterium incorporation. More than 60 examples are provided, including late-stage dehalogenative deuteration of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and their derivatives, all with excellent deuterium incorporation (up to 99% D), demonstrating the potential utility of the developed method in organic synthesis. Furthermore, the method does not require external catalysts and tolerates high current, showing possible use in industrial applications.
