Syntheses of 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds through direct trifluoromethylation with CF3I and their application to fluorinated pyrazoles syntheses

Direct trifluoromethylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with CF₃I in the presence of a Fenton reagent in dimethylsulfoxide was investigated. 1,3-Diketones, 3-oxocarboxylates and 3-oxocarboxamides were readily trifluoromethylated at the methylene carbon between two oxo groups. Cycloaddition of hydrazine derivatives to the obtained 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds provided fluorinated pyrazoles. 4-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazole derivatives were formed from 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-diketones, while 3-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)carboxylates or carboxamides gave 5-fluoropyrazole-4-carboxylates or carboxamides, respectively, via 3-hydrazono-2-(trifluoromethyl)carboxylates or carboxamides as an intermediate.     

Synthesis of 4-(1-adamantyl)-3-polyfluoromethyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrazoles

4-(1-Adamantyl)-3-polyfluoromethylpyrazoles were synthesized for the first time in high yields by condensation of fluorinated 2-(1-adamantyl)-1,3-diketones with hydrazine hydrate.     

Highly enantioselective direct Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to β-fluoroalkyl-α-nitroalkenes

Cinchona alkaloid catalysts were used in the Michael addition reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to β-fluoroalkyl-α-nitroalkenes for the first time. The catalytic system performed well over a broad scope of substrates including β-keto esters and 1,3-diketones with high diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions. A wide range of useful fluorinated chiral building blocks was synthesized.     

A practical and convenient fluorination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using aqueous HF in the presence of iodosylbenzene

A simple, practical, and convenient fluorination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was achieved by direct use of aqueous hydrofluoric acid and iodosylbenzene (PhIO). The reaction of ethyl benzoylacetate with the reagent system of aqueous HF and PhIO in CH(2)Cl(2) gave ethyl 2-fluoro-2-benzolyacetate in 98% yield. Other 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds including β-keto esters and 1,3-diketones underwent the fluorination reaction to give the corresponding fluorinated products in good yields.     

Preparation of some 4- and 5-fluoromethylated 1,3-dioxans

Difficulties associated with the successful preparation of 4- and 5-fluoromethylated 1,3-dioxans (III)(⁵′R = ⁵R = H) and (IV)(⁵R = Me; ²R = H or Me) are reported. Claisen condensation between ethyl monofluoroacetate and methyl ketones afforded furan derivatives (e.g. compound (V)).Attempts to dialkylate fluorinated 1,3-diketones by classical procedures did not yield the corresponding 2,2-gem-alkylated 1,3-diketones but rather asymmetric ketones by β-diketone degradation, the fluorinated moiety being lost.     

Reactions of enamines with fluorinated acyl chlorides----Synthesis of fluorinated 1,3-diketones and 1,3-keto-aldehydes

The reactions of enamines (1a-b,4,6) with fluorinated acyl chlorides (2a-d) produced fluorinated 1,3-diketones (3a-f) and 1,3-keto-aldehydes (7a-c) in good yields as well as byproducts fluorinated acylamides (5a-c).It is proposed that the reactions involve nucleophilic attack by the C-atora and/or N-atom of the enamines on acyl carbon of the fluorinated acyl chlorides.     

Fluorocontaining 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds in the Synthesis of Pyrimidine Derivatives

Hexafluoroacetylacetone reacts with urea (thiourea) to yield respectively 4,6-bis(hydroxy)-4,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)hexahydropyrimidin-2-one(thione). The dehydration of the products and also reaction of nonsymmetrical fluoroalkyl-containing 1,3-diketones with urea (thiourea) afford substituted pyrimidines. The condensation of fluorinated 3-oxoesters and 1,3-diketones with benzaldehyde and urea (thiourea) results in 5-alkoxycarbonyl(acyl)-4-hydroxy-2-oxo(thioxo)-6-phenyl-4-fluoroalkylhexahydropyrimidines that on dehydration furnish 5-alkoxycarbonyl(acyl)-2-oxo(thioxo)-4-phenyl-6-fluoroalkyltetrahydropyrimidines. Ethyl 7-nonafluorobutyl-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate hydrobromide forms in reaction of dibromoethane with ethyl ether of 2-thioxo-4-phenyl-6-nonafluorobutyltetrahydropyrimidine.     

Synthesis of 2-arylhydrazones of aliphatic fluorine-containing 1,2,3-tricarbonyl compounds and their reactions with dinucleophiles

New fluorinated 2-arylhydrazones of 1,2,3-tricarbonyl compounds were obtained by coupling fluorine-containing 3-oxo esters, 1,3-diketones, and their copper chelates with aryldiazonium chlorides. Reactions of these arylhydrazones with hydrazine hydrate, phenylhydrazine, thiosemicarbazide, and hydroxylamine gave the corresponding pyrazole and isoxazole derivatives.

Reactions of perfluoroalkylcopper compounds with α-ketoacyl chlorides were used for the synthesis of fluorinated α-diketones. Heptafluoropropylcopper prepared from copper bronze and 1-iodoheptafluoropropane reacted with benzoylformyl chloride to give heptafluoro-1-phenyl-1,2-pentanedione, with trimethylpyruvyl chloride to give 2,2-dimethyl-5,5,6,6,7,7,7-heptafluoro-3,4-heptanedione, and with 3,3,4,4,5,5,5-heptafluoro-2-ketopentanoyl chloride or oxalyl chloride to give tetradecafluoro-4,5-octanedione. Syntheses of fluorinated acetylenes, cyanohydrins, α-hydroxy acids, α-keto acids, their chlorides, and other intermediates for the syntheses of α-diketones by the above route and by other methods are described. An interesting seven-membered ring containing β-hydroxy ketone was obtained by an intramolecular aldol condensation of a fluorinated bis(methyl) ketone.     

Studies in organic mass spectrometry—IX: The fragmentation of alkylsubstituted 1,3-cyclopentanediones

The mass spectra of 2- and 4-substituted 1,3-cyclopentanediones are discussed. Methyl substituted compounds display mostly ring degradation, while for longer alkyl groups fragmentations in the side chain are responsible for most of the total ionization. As was found for other 1,3-diketones the spectra of 1,3-cyclopentanediones show typical and separate fragmentations for both diketoand enol-molecular ions.

Unusual O-conjugate addition reactions of β-ketoesters and 1,3-diketones to ethyl propynoate: applications to the synthesis of furans

Divinyl ethers were synthesized from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Reactions of β-ketoesters and 1,3-diketones with ethyl propynoate in the presence of N-methylmorpholine produced unusual O-conjugate addition products in good yields. The divinyl ethers derived from 1,3-diketones were utilized for the synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans under the standard radical cyclization conditions.     

A convenient synthesis of 5-acyl-6-substituted 3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinones

2-Dimethylaminomethylidene-1,3-diketones are useful synthons for the construction of 5-acyl-6-substituted-3-cyano-2(1H)-pyridinones. The reaction of these 1,3-diketones and the anion of cyanoacetamide gave the title compounds. When the 1,3 diketone contained different alkyl or aryl groups, mixtures of regioisomers were formed. To circumvent this problem, dimethylaminomethylidene hydrazones, regioselectively prepared from dimethylhydrazino enones and dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal were reacted with cyanoacetamide anion followed by acid hydrolysis to give the title compounds.
