Catalytic asymmetric nucleophilic fluorination using BF₃·Et₂O as fluorine source and activating reagent.

ABSTRACT: Fluorination using chiral catalytic methods could result in a direct access to asymmetric fluorine chemistry. However, challenges in catalytic asymmetric fluorinations, especially the longstanding stereochemical challenges existed in BF₃·Et₂O-based fluorinations, have not yet been addressed. Here we report the catalytic asymmetric nucleophilic fluorination using BF₃·Et₂O as the fluorine reagent in the presence of chiral iodine catalyst. Various chiral fluorinated oxazine products were obtained with good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr). Control experiments (the desired fluoro-oxazines could not be obtained when Py·HF or Et₃N·3HF were employed as the fluorine source) indicated that BF₃·Et₂O acted not only as a fluorine reagent but also as the activating reagent for activation of iodosylbenzene.

Renewable Reagent for Nucleophilic Fluorination.

Project description:Herein, we report a study on the reactivity of three 1,3-diarylimidazolium-based fluoride reagents, with a general formula of [IPrH][F(HF)n] (n = 0, 1, or 2), that tackle the challenges of limited solubility, hygroscopicity, instability, and laborious preparation procedures of nucleophilic fluoride reagents. Fluorination of 4-tert-butylbenzyl bromide reveals that trifluoride [IPrH][F(HF)2] is the most selective reagent. Microwave-assisted activation coupled with the addition of sterically hindered amine DIPEA or alkali metal fluorides increases the rate of fluorination with [IPrH][F(HF)2], making it an excellent reagent for the fluorination of various organic substrates. The scope of substrates includes benzyl bromides, iodides, chlorides, aliphatic halides, tosylates, mesylates, α-haloketones, a silyl chloride, acyl and sulfuryl chlorides, and a nitroarene. The exceptional stability of the air-stable and nonhygroscopic [IPrH][F(HF)2] reagent is illustrated by its convenient synthesis and detailed experimental regeneration protocol using hydrofluoric acid without organic solvents.

Preparation of Fluorinated Tetrahydropyrans and Piperidines using a New Nucleophilic Fluorination Reagent DMPU/HF.

Project description:DMPU/HF (HF content 65 wt %/wt) is an ideal nucleophilic fluorination reagent for the diastereoselective synthesis of substituted 4-fluorotetrahydropyrans and 4-fluoropiperidines via a fluoro-Prins reaction. When compared to classical nucleophilic fluorination reagents like pyridine/HF, DMPU/HF gives both higher yields and better diastereoselectivity.

Fluorine effect in nucleophilic fluorination at C4 of 1,6-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-2,3-difluoro-β-D-hexopyranose.

Project description:In this work, we have developed a simple synthetic approach using Et3N·3HF as an alternative to the DAST reagent. We controlled the stereochemistry of the nucleophilic fluorination at C4 of 1,6-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-2,3-difluoro-4-O-triflate-β-ᴅ-talopyranose using Et3N·3HF or in situ generated Et3N·1HF. The influence of the fluorine atom at C2 on reactivity at C4 could contribute to a new fluorine effect in nucleophilic substitution. Finally, with the continuous objective of synthesizing novel multi-vicinal fluorosugars, we prepared one difluorinated and one trifluorinated alditol analogue.

In Situ Anodically Oxidized BMIm-BF4: A Safe and Recyclable BF3 Source.

Project description:The anodic oxidation of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIm-BF4) efficiently generates BF3 from BF4-. This Lewis acid, strongly bound to the ionic liquids, can be efficiently used in classical BF3-catalyzed reactions. We demonstrated the BF3/BMIm-BF4 reactivity in four reactions, namely, a domino Friedel-Crafts/lactonization of phenols, the Povarov reaction, the Friedel-Crafts benzylation of anisole, and the multicomponent synthesis of tetrahydro-11H-benzo[a]xanthen-11-ones. In comparison with literature data using BF3-Et2O in organic solvents, in all the presented cases, analogous or improved results were obtained. Moreover, the noteworthy advantages of the developed method are the in situ generation of BF3 (no storing necessity) in the required amount, using only the electron as redox reagent, and the recycling of BMIm-BF4 for multiple subsequent runs.

Reagent-controlled enantioselectivity switch for the asymmetric fluorination of β-ketocarbonyls by chiral primary amine catalysis.

Project description:A reagent-controlled enantioselectivity switch was uncovered in the asymmetric α-fluorination of β-ketocarbonyls by a chiral primary amine catalyst. By a simple swap of fluorination reagents, both enantiomers of the quaternary fluorination adducts could be obtained with good yields and high enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies disclosed dual H-bonding and electrostatic stereocontrolling modes for the catalysis.

Pd-catalyzed nucleophilic fluorination of aryl bromides.

Project description:On the basis of mechanism-driven reaction design, a Pd-catalyzed nucleophilic fluorination of aryl bromides and iodides has been developed. The method exhibits a broad substrate scope, especially with respect to nitrogen-containing heteroaryl bromides, and proceeds with minimal formation of the corresponding reduction products. A facilitated ligand modification process was shown to be critical to the success of the reaction.

Substitution of fluorine in M[C6F5BF3] with organolithium compounds: distinctions between O- and N-nucleophiles.

Project description:Borates M[C6F5BF3] (M = K, Li, Bu4N) react with organolithium compounds, RLi (R = Me, Bu, Ph), in 1,2-dimethoxyethane or diglyme to give M[4-RC6F4BF3] and M[2-RC6F4BF3]. When R is Me or Bu, the nucleophilic substitution of the fluorine atom at the para position to boron is the predominant route. When R = Ph, the ratio M[4-RC6F4BF3]/M[2-RC6F4BF3] is ca. 1:1. Substitution of the fluorine atom at the ortho position to boron is solely caused by the coordination of RLi via the lithium atom with the fluorine atoms of the BF3 group. This differs from the previously reported substitution in K[C6F5BF3] by O- and N-nucleophiles that did not produce K[2-NuC6F4BF3].

Mechanistic study of nucleophilic fluorination for the synthesis of fluorine-18 labeled fluoroform with high molar activity from N-difluoromethyltriazolium triflate.

Project description:The synthesis of fluorine-18 labeled fluoroform with high molar activity has grown in importance for the development of fluorine-18 labeled aryl-CF3 radiopharmaceuticals that are useful as diagnostic radiotracers for the powerful technique of positron emission tomography (PET). We designed a strategy of synthesizing fluorine-18 labeled fluoroform from N1-difluoromethyl-N3-methyltriazolium triflate (1) via SN2 fluorination without stable fluorine isotope scrambling. Fluoroform was generated at rt in 10 min by fluorination of the triazolium precursor with TBAF (6 equiv.). We propose three routes (a), (b), and (c) for this fluorination. Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to elucidate the mechanism of experimentally observed nucleophilic attack of fluoride at difluoromethyl group via route (a), not N3-methyl via route (b). 1H and 19F NMR studies using deuterium source have been performed to examine the competition between SN2 fluorination (route (a)) and the formation of difluorocarbene (route (c)). The observed superiority of SN2 pathway to formation of difluorocarbene in the reaction of the precursor using CsF in (CD3CN/(CD3)3COD (17.8 : 1)) gives the possibility of preparing the fluorine-18 labeled fluoroform in high molar activity.
