Nitrogen scanning in aryl fragments is a valuable aspect of the drug discovery process, but current strategies require time-intensive, parallel, bottom-up synthesis each pyridyl isomer because lack direct carbon-to-nitrogen (C-to-N) replacement reactions. We report site-directable C-to-N reaction allowing unified access to various pyridine isomers through nitrene-internalization process. In two-step, one-pot procedure, azides are first photochemically converted 3

Defluorinative manipulation of polyfluorinated molecules has shown great promise due to its granting synthetic versatility inert C-F bonds. The development chemo-, stereo- and regioselective strategies realize highly efficient formation either the linear/branched or E/Z products from gem-difluorocyclopropanes (gem-F2 CPs) is a challenging task. Herein, we have realized palladium/NHC-catalyzed fluoroallylation/annulation hydrazones with gem-F2 CPs that incorporate hydrazone N2 moiety into products. thermodynamically unstable fluorinated E-allylation aryl ketone were obtained for first time, while di-alkyl yielded monofluorinated branched selectivity under similar reaction conditions. With aldehyde hydrazones, two kinds pyrazoles via defluorinative allylation/annulation cascade, in which different carbon atoms could be incorporated pyrazole rings regiospecifically. DFT calculations revealed divergent was kinetically controlled final C-C bond proceeded through 7-membered TS.

Direct synthesis of gem-difluorinated carbocyclic molecules represents a longstanding challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, Rh-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between readily available cyclopropanes (gem-DFCPs) and internal olefins has been developed, enabling the efficient cyclopentanes with good functional group compatibility, excellent regioselectivity diastereoselectivity. The resulting products can undergo downstream transformations to access various mono-fluorinated cyclopentenes cyclopentanes. This demonstrates use gem-DFCPs as type "CF2 " C3 synthon for under transition metal catalysis, which provides potential strategy synthesizing other molecules.

Abstract The use of gem ‐difluorinated cyclopropanes ( ‐DFCPs) as fluoroallyl surrogates under transition‐metal catalysis has drawn considerable attention recently but such reactions are restricted to producing achiral or racemic mono‐fluoroalkenes. Herein, we report the first enantioselective allylation indoles rhodium with ‐DFCPs. This reaction shows exceptional branched regioselectivity towards ‐DFCPs, which provides an efficient route enantioenriched fluoroallylated wide substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.

A novel enantioselective Tsuji-Trost-type cross coupling reaction between gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes and N-unprotected amino acid esters enabled by synergistic Pd/Ni/chiral aldehyde catalysis is presented herein. This transformation streamlined the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of optically active α-quaternary α-amino bearing a linear 2-fluoroallylic motif, which served as an appealing platform for construction other valuable enantioenriched compounds. The key intermediates were confirmed HRMS detection, while DFT calculations revealed that excellent enantioselectivity was attributed to stabilizing non-covalent interactions Pd(II)-π-fluoroallyl species Ni(II)-Schiff base complex.
