Herein we report the copper-catalyzed silylation of propargylic difluorides to generate axially chiral, tetrasubstituted monofluoroallenes in both good yields (27 examples >80%) and enantioselectivities (82-98% ee). Compared previously reported synthetic routes chiral allenes (ACAs) from prochiral substrates, a mechanistically distinct reaction has been developed: enantiodiscrimination between enantiotopic fluorides set an axial stereocenter. DFT calculations vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) suggest that β-fluoride elimination alkenyl copper intermediate likely proceeds through syn-β-fluoride pathway rather than anti-elimination pathway. The effects C1-symmetric Josiphos-derived ligand on reactivity enantioselectivity were investigated. Not only does this showcase species (like their alkyl counterparts) can undergo elimination, but be achieved enantioselective fashion.

Abstract The first catalytic method for diastereo‐ and enantioselective synthesis of allylic boronates bearing a Z ‐trisubstituted alkenyl fluoride is disclosed. Boryl substitution performed with either ‐ or E ‐allyldifluoride catalyzed by bisphosphine/Cu complexes, affording products in up to 99 % yield >98:2 / selectivity 99:1 enantiomeric ratio. A variety subsequent modifications are feasible, notable examples diastereoselective additions aldehydes/aldimines access homoallylic alcohols/amines containing fluorosubstituted stereogenic quaternary center.

Efficient methods for the synthesis of fluoroalkylated alkenylboronates are very limited, despite their importance in modern organic synthesis. Herein, we report a palladium-catalyzed trans-fluoroalkylation–borylation alkynes with fluoroalkyl iodides and B2pin2. The reaction tolerates series difluoroalkyl perfluoroalkyl can enable coupling variety alkynes, including internal terminal high efficiency, functional group compatibility, regio- stereoselectivities. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that trans-fluoroalkylated alkenyl iodide is key intermediate, which subsequently undergoes borylation to produce alkenylboronate.

In this study, a facile and efficient method to synthesize monofluoroalkenes by photoredox catalytic defluorinative alkylation of gem-difluoroalkenes with 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines under mild conditions (room temperature) is described. This novel strategy applicable for broad range gem-difluoroalkene substrates good functional group tolerance variety (including primary, secondary, even tertiary alkyl radicals). Moreover, it also allows the challenging radical coupling glycosyl-based (DHPs) monofluoroalkenylated saccharides.

Summary of main observation and conclusion Silylated fluoroalkenes are important synthetic intermediates with complementary reactivity, which play a key role in the construction natural products, pharmaceuticals, manmade materials. Converting normally highly stable into silylated by selective defluorosilylation is challenging task. Herein, we report simple, inexpensive robust variety silylboronates presence alkoxy base to directly synthesize various fluoroalkenes. The protocol features mild safe reaction conditions that avoid catalyst, transition metal, ligand, high temperature tolerates wide scope fluoroalkene substrates without compromising efficiency. Density functional theory calculations show transient silyl anion complex undergoes an S N 2’ or V substitution, responsible for this base‐mediated defluorosilylation.
