gem-Difluorohomoallyl amines, an important class of gem-difluoroalkenes, are prevalent moieties in many bioactive compounds. However, limited methods suitable for the synthesis this type compound containing secondary amines. Here, we display a photocatalytic multicomponent protocol gem-difluoroalkenes which makes use readily available materials: arylamines, alkyl aldehydes, and α-trifluoromethyl alkenes. Moreover, ketones amines also substrates. Preliminary mechanistic experiments indicate that key α-amino radical was involved, generated from reduction situ-formed imines (or iminium ions) by reduced photocatalyst. Subsequent addition to alkenes β-F elimination deliver desired products.

Photocatalytic 1,3-Difluoroalkylcarboxylation of Alkenes by Triple Kinetic-Controlled Radical Self-Ordering

Chemical Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

A transition-metal-free protocol for the unsymmetrical radical 1,3-difunctionalization of alkenes has been established first time in form 1,3-difluoroalkylcarboxylation by a photocatalytic three-component reaction allyl formates, trifluoroacetanilides, and cesium formate. This employs formate as carboxylating reagent trifluoroacetanilide difluoroalkylating via C-F bond activation. As result, series previously inaccessible difluorinated adipic acid derivatives can be easily efficient prepared. Mechanism studies reveal that triple kinetic-controlled self-ordering is key to this unique reaction. sorting involves fast initiation CO2 anion its chemoselective addition reduction, followed slow generation fluoroalkyl chemo-/regioselective addition. Notably, strategy also suitable cyclic through diastereoselectively constructing two or three consecutive stereocenters.

To provide fluorinated allylamines, a visible-light photocatalytic C–F/C–H coupling of easily accessible gem-difluoroalkenes and secondary N-alkylanilines was described. The protocol proceeded under mild conditions, with excellent functional group compatibility broad scope including complex natural product derivatives, thus providing green method for the preparation high-value functionalized monofluoroalkenes. Mechanistic studies elucidated photoredox catalyzed radical–radical pathway.
