Fluorotrimethyl[(Z)-pentafluoropropen-1-yl]phosphorane: Structure,Bonding, and Reactivity

In this contribution we report on fluorotrimethyl[(Z)-pentafluoropropen-1-yl]phosphorane as a phosphorus based fluorinating reagent. Its solid state structure can be described as a trigonal bipyramid featuring elongated axial bonds due to the formation of a 3-center 4-electron bond. Abstraction of the fluoride ion leads to a shortening of the axial P–C bond. Thus the title compound can be utilized for substitution of bromine with fluorine and for the transfer of fluoride ions onto electrophilic compounds. Reaction with Sn(C₂F₅)₂Br₂ afforded salt [P(CH₃)₃(C₃F₅)]₂[Sn(C₂F₅)₂F₄]. When fluorotrimethyl[(Z)-pentafluoropropen-1-yl]phosphorane was treated with P(C₂F₅)₂F the primarily produced anion is sufficiently nucleophilic to attack the propenyl group of the cation in β-position to the phosphorus atom to yield zwitterionic [Me₃PCF=C(CF₃)–PF₃(C₂F₅)₂].     

Synthesis of Multifluoromethylated γ-Sultines by a Photoinduced Radical Addition–Polar Cyclization

Despite the significance of sultines in synthesis, medicine, and materials science, the chemistry of sultines has remained unexplored due to their inaccessibility. Herein, we demonstrate the development of a photoredox-catalyzed multifluoromethyl radical addition/SO₂ incorporation/polar cyclization cascade approach to multifluoromethylated γ-sultines. The reactions proceed by single electron transfer induced multifluoromethyl radical addition to an alkene followed by SO₂ incorporation, and single-electron reduction for polar 5-exo-tet cyclization. Key to the success of the protocol is the use of easily oxidizable multifluoroalkanesulfinates as bifunctional reagents. The reactions proceed with excellent functional-group tolerance to deliver γ-sultines in moderate to excellent yields.     

Interaction between Divalent Copper Fluoride and Carboxamide Group Enabling Stereoretentive Fluorination of Tertiary Alkyl Halides

Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed stereospecific fluorination involving CsF and α-bromocarboxamides as tertiary alkyl sources that, unlike traditional stereospecific routes involving stereoinversive S_N2 reactions, proceeds with retention of stereochemistry. The developed stereospecific Cu-catalyzed reaction is among the most efficient methods for synthesizing fluorinated molecules that possess highly congested stereogenic carbon centers. Mechanistic studies revealed that the combined reactivity of CuF₂ and Cs salt is essential for completing the catalytic cycle. Our catalytic system underwent fluorination exclusively with tertiary alkyl bromides and did not react with primary alkyl bromides, indicating that this stereospecific fluorination methodology is suitable for synthesizing fluorinated building blocks possessing stereo-defined F-containing tertiary carbon stereogenic center.     

Palladium-Catalyzed Fluorinative Bifunctionalization of Aziridines and Azetidines with gem-Difluorocyclopropanes

An unprecedented Pd-catalyzed fluorinative bifunctionalization of aziridines and azetidines was successfully developed via regioselective C−C and C−F bond cleavage of gem-difluorocyclopropanes, leading to various β,β′-bisfluorinated amines and β,γ-bisfluorinated amines. This reaction was achieved by incorporating a 2-fluorinated allyl group and a fluorine atom scissored from gem-difluorocyclopropane in 100 % atom economy for the first time. The mechanistic investigations indicated that the reaction underwent amine attacking 2-fluorinated allyl palladium complex to generate η²-coordinated N-allyl aziridine followed by fluoride ligand transfer affording the final β- and γ-fluorinated amines.     

Regio- and stereoselective syntheses of l-pentose derivatives from l-arabinose

Novel l-arabinose, l-ribose, 2-deoxy-l-ribose and 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-l-arabinose derivatives were synthesized from readily available l-arabinose. Different synthetic routes to methyl 3,5-di-O-acylated-l-arabino(ribo)furanosides as valued intermediates for the preparation of C-2 functionalized l-pentoses were investigated via regioselective transformations of 1,2-di-O-acetyl-3,5-di-O-pivaloyl-l-arabinofuranose, and selective acylation of methyl l-arabinofuranoside with 4-chlorobenzoyl or pivaloyl chloride. Short three-five-step syntheses of methyl 2-deoxy-α-l-ribofuranoside, its 3,5-di-O-acyl derivatives, valuable precursors for preparation of antiviral 2′-deoxy-l-nucleosides, were accomplished via simple and efficient reduction of methyl 2-O-mesyl-l-arabinofuranoside with L-Selectride or tandem reaction involving a complex hydride 2-deoxygenation/acylation of intermediate 2-deoxysugar. A new synthesis of 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-β-l-arabinofuranosyl thymine (l-FMAU) was performed using a mild fluorination of protected l-ribofuranoside and a novel sequence of conversions for the preparation of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-l-arabinofuranoside derivatives.     

Library-friendly synthesis of fluorinated ketones through functionalized hydration of alkynes and investigation of the reaction mechanism

A library-friendly synthesis of α-substituted-α-fluoroketones through functionalized hydration of alkynes in one pot under mild conditions is reported. The ready availability of alkynes and organoboronic acids makes this reaction quite attractive. We also studied the key intermediate—a fluorinated cationic gold species—using in situ NMR spectroscopy and ESI-high resolution mass spectrometry.

一种经氟化和热处理在双壁碳纳米管上生成缺陷的方法(英文)

Nanoscale defects in the outer tube to preserve the electrical and optical features of the inner tube can be engineered to exploit the intrinsic properties of double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) for various promising applications. We demonstrated a selective way to make defects in the outer tube by the fluorination of DWCNTs followed by the thermal detachment of the F atoms at 1000 °C in argon. Fluorinated DWCNTs with different amounts of F atoms were prepared by reacting with fluorine gas at 25, 200, and 400 °C that gave the stoichiometry of CF0.20, CF0.30, and CF0.43, respectively. At the three different temperatures used, we observed preservation of the coaxial morphology in the fluorinated DWCNTs. For the DWCNTs fluorinated at 25 and 200 °C, the strong radial breathing modes (RBMs) of the inner tube and weakened RBMs of the outer tube indicated selective fluorine attachment onto the outer tube. However, the disappearance of the RBMs in the Raman spectrum of the DWCNTs fluorinated at 400 °C showed the introduction of F atoms onto both inner and outer tubes. There was no significant change in the morphology and optical properties when the DWCNTs fluorinated at 25 and 200 °C were thermally treated at 1000 °C in argon. However, in the case of the DWCNTs fluorinated at 400 °C, the recovery of strong RBMs from the inner tube and weakened RBMs from the outer tube indicated the selective introduction of substantial defects on the outer tube while preserving the original tubular shape. The thermal detachment of F atoms from fluorinated DWCNTs is an efficient way to make highly defective outer tubes for preserving the electrical conduction and optical activity of the inner tubes.     

Rotational Spectra of 2,3,6-Trifluoropyridine: Effect of Fluorination on Ring Geometry

The ground state rotational spectrum of 2, 3, 6-trifluoropyridine has been investigated in the 2.0\begin{document}$ - $\end{document}20.0 GHz region by pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The experimental rotational constants are \begin{document}$ A $\end{document} = 3134.4479(2) MHz, \begin{document}$ B $\end{document} = 1346.79372(7) MHz, and \begin{document}$ C $\end{document} = 941.99495(6) MHz. The transitions are so intense that rotational transitions of all mono-\begin{document}$ ^{13} $\end{document}C and \begin{document}$ ^{15} $\end{document}N isotopologues are measured in natural abundance. The semi-experimental equilibrium rotational constants of the 7 isotopologues were derived by taking account of the anharmonic vibrational corrections, which allowed a semi-experimental determination of the equilibrium structure of 2, 3, 6-trifluoropyridine.     

气相氟化合成1,1,1,2-四氟乙烷的CrOx-Y2O3催化剂的表征与性能

制备了一系列CrOx-Y2O3催化剂用于气相氟化1,1,1-三氟-2-氯乙烷(HCFC-133a)合成1,1,1,2-四氟乙烷(HFC-134a), 并考察了Y(OH)3、YCl3和Y(NO3)3前躯体对催化剂性能的影响. XRD和UV-Vis光谱实验结果表明, Y前躯体对催化剂表面Cr物种有影响, 其中采用Y(OH)3前躯体的催化剂有利于以高分散的Cr6+形式存在. 研究表明CrOx-Y2O3催化剂在预处理和反应过程中, 部分高价CrOx可转化为CrF3. 催化剂中CrF3含量增加, 导致其转化为活性物种的含量相对减少, 所以其催化活性下降.
