Asymmetric Fluorofunctionalizations with Carboxylate-Based Phase-Transfer Catalysts

Fluorine is an attractive element in the field of pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry due to its unique properties. Considering the chiral environment in nature, where enantiomers often show different biological activities, the introduction of fluorine atom(s) into organic molecules to make chiral fluorinated compounds is an important subject. Herein, we describe the story of the development of our chiral carboxylate-based phase-transfer catalysts and their applications for asymmetric fluorocyclizations of alkenes bearing a carboxylic acid, an amide, and an oxime as an internal nucleophile with a dicationic fluorinating reagent, Selectfluor. We also describe dearomative fluorinations of indole derivatives, 2-naphthols, and resorcinols.     

New approaches to enantioselective fluorination: Cinchona alkaloids combinations and chiral ligands/metal complexes

The selective construction of carbon-fluorine bonds is of great interest to medicinal chemists because the replacement of a hydrogen or an oxygen atom with a fluorine atom in biologically active molecules can confer the molecules with improved physicochemical properties and biological activities. Since the first discovery of enantioselective fluorination using N-fluorocamphorsultam, our synthetic interest had been focused on the development of chiral N-fluorosulfonamide derivatives capable of enantioselective fluorination. However, these initial efforts revealed several limitations in both chemical yields and enantioselectivities of the fluorinated products. We present here the background of our personal story of the enantioselective fluorination reaction and some successful applications of the methods to the design and synthesis of biologically active products. Two novel approaches using cinchona alkaloid/Selectfluor^® combinations and chiral ligands/metal complexes have been pursued, respectively. In addition, the recent advances in this area by other groups are also described briefly.     

Screening of chiral catalysts for enantioselective electrophilic fluorination of β-ketoesters

A variety of oxygen- and nitrogen-containing chiral ligands in combination with various metals have been screened in the enantioselective electrophilic fluorination of β-ketoesters. This study involved the use of readily available substrates, chiral ligands and electrophilic fluorinating agents. In particular, heterobimetallic Al-Li-BINOL complex allowed to obtain enantiomerically enriched α-fluoro-β-ketoesters in high yields and moderate enantioselectivities; up to 67% ee. A comparison with previously reported chiral ligands is provided.     

Catalytic asymmetric fluorinations

The appearance of structurally diverse fluorinating reagents displaying a large spectrum of reactivity has been critical to the development of the catalytic asymmetric fluorination processes known to date. In this article, we discuss how this area of research emerged and which strategies have allowed for the successful development of both nucleophilic and electrophilic catalytic enantioselective fluorinations. We also present the fundamental understanding of catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for the most efficient processes and highlight the first synthetic application with the preparation of a complex fluorinated target.     

Recent Advances and Perspectives of Transition Metal‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Fluorination Reactions

The synthesis of fluorine‐containing molecules has received intensive attention in recent years due to the great value of fluorides, however, the transition metal‐catalyzed asymmetric construction of C—F bonds is much less developed. This review presents the recent advancement of transition metal‐catalyzed asymmetric fluorination reactions, in which the final C—F bond is from reductive elimination of organometallic complexes. In addition, the perspective of the field is also provided for the future studies of asymmetric fluorinations and the related transformations, such as trifluoromethylation, trifluoromethylthiolation and trifluoromethoxylation.     

Selectfluor: Mechanistic Insight and Applications

The replacement of hydrogen atoms with fluorine substituents in organic substrates is of great interest in synthetic chemistry because of the strong electronegativity of fluorine and relatively small steric footprint of fluorine atoms. Many sources of nucleophilic fluorine are available for the derivatization of organic molecules under acidic, basic, and neutral conditions. However, electrophilic fluorination has historically required molecular fluorine, whose notorious toxicity and explosive tendencies limit its application in research. The necessity for an electrophilic fluorination reagent that is safe, stable, highly reactive, and amenable to industrial production as an alternative to very hazardous molecular fluorine was the inspiration for the discovery of selectfluor. This reagent is not only one of the most reactive electrophilic fluorinating reagents available, but it is also safe, nontoxic, and easy to handle. In this Review we document the many applications of selectfluor and discuss possible mechanistic pathways for its reaction.

The Fluorination of C−H Bonds: Developments and Perspectives

This Review summarizes advances in fluorination by C(sp²)?H and C(sp³)?H activation. Transition‐metal‐catalyzed approaches championed by palladium have allowed the installation of a fluorine substituent at C(sp²) and C(sp³) sites, exploiting the reactivity of high‐oxidation‐state transition‐metal fluoride complexes combined with the use of directing groups (some transient) to control site and stereoselectivity. The large majority of known methods employ electrophilic fluorination reagents, but methods combining a nucleophilic fluoride source with an oxidant have appeared. External ligands have proven to be effective for C(sp³)?H fluorination directed by weakly coordinating auxiliaries, thereby enabling control over reactivity. Methods relying on the formation of radical intermediates are complementary to transition‐metal‐catalyzed processes as they allow for undirected C(sp³)?H fluorination. To date, radical C?H fluorinations mainly employ electrophilic N?F fluorination reagents but a unique Mn^III‐catalyzed oxidative C?H fluorination using fluoride has been developed. Overall, the field of late‐stage nucleophilic C?H fluorination has progressed much more slowly, a state of play explaining why C?H ¹⁸F‐fluorination is still in its infancy.     

Direct Asymmetric Dearomatization of 2‐Naphthols by Scandium‐Catalyzed Electrophilic Amination
