Abstract A technically simple procedure for direct C−H difluoromethylation of heteroaromatic compounds using off‐the‐shelf difluoroacetic acid as the difluoromethylating reagent has been developed. Mono‐difluoromethylation versus bis‐difluoromethylation is controlled result reaction temperature. The reactions described here enable access to late‐stage mono‐ and preparation tool chemical biology provide this hitherto untapped substituent drug discovery.

A new method for the on-site preparation of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and a procedure its efficient use in pentafluoroethylation by fluoride addition were developed using simple two-chamber system. The TFE was accomplished dimerization difluorocarbene derived from (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (TMSCF3 ) under mild conditions. Other fluoroalkylation reactions, such as (aryloxy)tetrafluoroethylation tetrafluoroethylation processes, also achieved similar approach. This work not only demonstrates convenient safe approach generation academic laboratories, but provides strategy pentafluoroethylation.

The mechanism of the aryl iodide-catalyzed asymmetric migratory geminal difluorination β-substituted styrenes (Banik et al. Science 2016, 353, 51) has been explored with density functional theory computations. computed consists (a) activation iodoarene difluoride (ArIF2), (b) enantiodetermining 1,2-fluoroiodination, (c) bridging phenonium ion formation via SN2 reductive displacement, and (d) regioselective fluoride addition. According to computational model, ArIF2 intermediate is stabilized through halogen−π interactions between electron-deficient iodine(III) center benzylic substituents at catalyst stereogenic centers. Interactions ester carbonyl groups (I(III)+···O) are not observed in unactivated complex, but do occur upon hydrogen-bonding external Brønsted acid (HF). 1,2-fluoroiodination occurs alkene complexation electrophilic, cationic I(III) followed by C–F bond anti forming C–I bond. bound olefin adopt a spiro arrangement favored transition structures nearly periplanar disfavored structures. Multiple attractive non-covalent interactions, including slipped π···π stacking, C–H···O, C–H···π found underlie high induction. chemoselectivity for 1,1-difluorination versus 1,2-difluorination controlled mainly (1) steric effect substituent on olefinic double (2) nucleophilicity oxygen substrate.

Abstract This review summarizes the progress in fluorination and fluoroalkylation of electron‐rich systems with diverse fluorine (F) fluoroalkyl (R fn ) reagents employing hypervalent iodine compounds as initiators last few decades. Because strong electrophilicity, high oxidizing properties, low toxicity, air moisture stability, ready availability, ease handling, mild reaction conditions, have been widely utilized modern organic chemistry. In particular, use to initiate C−F C−R =CF 2 H, CF 3 , perfluoroalkyl, OCH SCF SeCF etc) bond formation has increasingly developed. these reactions, behave powerful oxidants or electrophiles activate fluorination/fluoroalkylation reagents, transition‐metal catalysts, substrates situ form electrophilic radical intermediates, which subsequently participate fluorination, difluoromethylation, trifluoromethylation, perfluoroalkylation, trifluoroethoxylation, fluoroalkylthiolation, trifluoromethylselenolation others under conditions. Although great achievements made this area, they are just initial phase still require a wide scope for improvement. It is anticipated that will draw much attention from chemistry community inspire more contributions development new hypervalent‐iodine‐mediated reactions. magnified image
