Organocatalytic Strategy for Hydrophenolation of Gem-Difluoroalkenes.

ABSTRACT: Gem-difluoroalkenes are an easily accessed fluorinated functional group, and a useful intermediate for elaborating into more complex fluorinated compounds. Currently, most functionalization reactions of gem-difluoroalkenes, with or without a transition metal-based catalyst system, involve the addition or removal of a fluorine atom to generate trifluorinated or monofluorinated products, respectively. In contrast, we present a complementary "fluorine-retentive" reaction that exploits an organocatalytic strategy to add phenols across gem-difluoroalkenes to deliver ?,?-difluorophenethyl arylethers. The products are produced in good to moderate yields and selectivities, thus providing a range of compounds that are underrepresented in the synthetic and medicinal chemistry literature.

General Co-catalytic Hydrothiolation of gem-Difluoroalkenes.

Project description:Regioselective functionalization of gem-difluoroalkenes enables convergent late-stage access to fluorinated functional groups, though most functionalization reactions proceed through defluorinative functionalization processes that deliver mono-fluorovinyl products. In contrast, fewer reactions undergo net hydrofunctionalization to generate difluorinated products. Herein, we report a photocatalytic hydrothiolation of gem-difluoroalkenes that enables access to a broad spectrum of α,α-difluoroalkylthioethers. Notably, the reaction successfully couples nonactivated substrates, which expands the scope of accessible molecules relative to previously reported reactions involving organo- or photocatalytic strategies. Further, this reaction successfully couples biologically relevant molecules under aqueous conditions, highlighting potential applications in both late-stage and biorthogonal functionalizations.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Selective Unsymmetrical Dioxidation of gem-Difluoroalkenes.

Project description:gem-Difluoroalkenes represent valuable synthetic handles for organofluorine chemistry; however, most reactions of this substructure proceed through reactive intermediates prone to eliminate a fluorine atom and generate monofluorinated products. Taking advantage of the distinct reactivity of gem-difluoroalkenes, we present a cobalt-catalyzed regioselective unsymmetrical dioxygenation of gem-difluoroalkenes using phenols and molecular oxygen, which retains both fluorine atoms and provides β-phenoxy-β,β-difluorobenzyl alcohols. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction operates through a radical chain process initiated by Co(II)/O2/phenol and quenched by the Co-based catalyst. This mechanism enables the retention of both fluorine atoms, which contrasts most transition-metal-catalyzed reactions of gem-difluoroalkenes that typically involve defluorination.

Morpholine-mediated defluorinative cycloaddition of gem-difluoroalkenes and organic azides.

Project description:Here, we report the first transition-metal-free defluorinative cycloaddition of gem-difluoroalkenes with organic azides in morpholine as a solvent to construct fully decorated morpholine-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Mechanistic studies revealed the formation of an addition-elimination intermediate of morpholine and gem-difluoroalkenes prior to the triazolization reaction via two plausible pathways. Attractive elements include the regioselective and straightforward direct synthesis of fully substituted 1,2,3-triazoles, which are otherwise difficult to access, from readily available starting materials.

Stereodivergent Palladium-Catalyzed C-F Bond Functionalization of gem-Difluoroalkenes.

Project description:We herein describe a stereodivergent C-F bond functionalization of gem-difluoroalkenes. Using trisubstituted β,β-difluoroacrylates, both E and Z monofluoroalkene products can be obtained with excellent diastereoselectivities. The design of two different reaction manifolds, i.e., Pd(II)- versus Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of boronic acids, is the key to stereocontrol.

Stereoselective Palladium-Catalyzed Hiyama Cross-Coupling Reaction of Tetrasubstituted gem-Difluoroalkenes.

Project description:We herein describe a diastereoselective Pd(0)-catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction of gem-difluoroalkenes. The use of organosilicon reagents in this reaction is advantageous over other organometallic reagents by allowing the introduction of a wide range of functional groups, including challenging alkyl groups. Also conveniently, the additive TBAF was not required for (hetero)aryl-substituted difluoroalkenes.

Ni-catalyzed migratory fluoro-alkenylation of unactivated alkyl bromides with gem-difluoroalkenes.

Project description:We describe a nickel-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective migratory fluoro-alkenylation of unactivated alkyl bromides. A unique catalytic cycle merging alkyl nickel chain-walking and defluorinative coupling enables the introduction of a broad array of fluoroalkenyl moieties into carbon chains. Control experiments with other halogenated alkenes demonstrated the essential role of fluorine atoms in this reaction. Notably, the reaction proceeds under mild conditions and allows for the synthesis of a variety of valuable monofluoroalkenes.

Arylation of gem-difluoroalkenes using a Pd/Cu Co-catalytic system that avoids β-fluoride elimination.

Project description:PdII/CuI co-catalyze an arylation reaction of gem-difluoroalkenes using arylsulfonyl chlorides to deliver α,α-difluorobenzyl products. The reaction proceeds through a β,β-difluoroalkyl-Pd intermediate that typically undergoes unimolecular β-F elimination to deliver monofluorinated alkene products in a net C-F functionalization reaction. However to avoid β-F elimination, we offer the β,β-difluoroalkyl-Pd intermediate an alternate low-energy route involving β-H elimination to ultimately deliver difluorinated products in a net arylation/isomerization sequence. Overall, this reaction enables exploration of new reactivities of unstable fluorinated alkyl-metal species, while also providing new opportunities for transforming readily available fluorinated alkenes into more elaborate substructures.

Selective C-F bond carboxylation of gem-difluoroalkenes with CO2 by photoredox/palladium dual catalysis.

Project description:The catalytic C-F bond carboxylation of organofluorines with CO2 gas remains a challenging problem in synthetic chemistry. Here, we describe a selective defluorinative carboxylation of gem-difluoroalkenes through photoredox/palladium dual catalysis. The C-F bond activation is enabled by single electron reduction through photoredox catalysis to generate a fluorovinyl radical, which subsequently participates in an unprecedented palladium-catalyzed carboxylation. This novel C-F functionalization proved applicable to a wide range of substituted gem-difluoroalkenes, providing a rapid access to valuable ?-fluoroacrylic acids.

Regio- and Enantioselective Bromocyclization of Difluoroalkenes as a Strategy to Access Tetrasubstituted Difluoromethylene-Containing Stereocenters.

Project description:Difluoromethylene-containing compounds have attracted substantial research interest over the past decades for their ability to mimic biological functions of traditional functional groups while providing a wide variety of pharmacological benefits bestowed by the C-F bond. We report a novel strategy to access RCF2Br-containing heterocycles by regio- and enantioselective bromocyclization of difluoroalkenes enabled by chiral anion phase-transfer catalysis. The utility of this methodology was highlighted through a synthesis of an analogue of efavirenz, a drug used for treating HIV. Additionally, the synthetic versatility of the CF2Br intermediates was showcased through functionalization to a variety of enantioenriched α,α-difluoromethylene-containing products.

Synergistically activating nucleophile strategy enabled organocatalytic asymmetric P-addition of cyclic imines.

Project description:Herein, we present an attractive organocatalytic asymmetric addition of P-nucleophiles to five-membered cyclic N-sulfonyl imines facilitated by phosphonium salt catalysis, enabling the highly enantioselective synthesis of tri- and tetra-substituted cyclic phosphorus-containing benzosultams. With this protocol, various cyclic α-aminophosphonates were efficiently synthesized with high yields and exceptional enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) under mild reaction conditions. The utility and practicality of this method were demonstrated through gram-scale reactions and straightforward elaborations. Notably, the success of this approach relies on the deliberate selection of a synergistic organocatalytic system, which helps circumvent foreseeable side effects while handling secondary phosphine oxides (SPOs). Systematic mechanistic studies, incorporating experiments and DFT calculations, have revealed the critical importance of judiciously selecting bifunctional phosphonium salt catalysts for effectively activating P-nucleophiles while stereoselectively controlling the P-attack process.
