Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a process for preparing a polyfluorinated tertiary alcohol. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of the polyfluorinated alcohol prepared by the above process.

[0002] Polyfluorinated alcohols are used as starting materials for the synthesis of compounds used in a variety of consumer products. However, from the prior art, no elegant one-step synthesis method for preparing polyfluorinated tertiary alcohols has been found. In contrast, US 3,317,616 A discloses a stepwise synthesis of polyfluorinated tertiary alcohols from polyfluoroalkyl ketones.

[0003] The general route to prepare polyfluorinated alcohols is based on the addition of Me 3 SiC 3 (Ruppert's reagent). When added to aldehydes, secondary alcohols are formed as described by R. Filler, RM Schure, J. Org. Chem. 1967, 32, 1217-1219. In contrast, when added to ketones, tertiary alcohols are formed as described by GKS Prakash, M. Mandal, Journal of Fluorine Chemistry 2001, 112, 123-131.

[0004] This synthetic strategy consists of using preformed polyfluoroalkyl nucleophiles such as Me 3 SiC 3 (Ruppert's reagent) for trifluoromethylation of ketones or aldehydes, but such reagents have disadvantages due to their high cost.

[0005] Chang et al., Journal of Fluorine Chemistry 2005, 126(6), 937-940 and Tetrahedron Letters 2005, 46, 3161-3164 reported a method that does not require Ruppert's reagent. This is a decarboxylative polyfluoroalkylation reaction in which a polyfluoroalkyl nucleophile is generated in situ from a polyfluorocarboxylate and added to aldehydes and ketones.

[0006] According to this method, benzaldehyde can be converted to the corresponding alcohol in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of Cu(I) halide and trifluoroacetate:

[0007]

[0008] Benzaldehyde (R 2 =H) to prepare the corresponding secondary alcohol, where an extremely high yield of 99% was achieved. However, in the case of the attempted ketone (R 2 =CH 3 ) and esters (R 2 =OCH 3), only trace amounts of the desired product, tertiary alcohol, were detected.

[0009] Gooβen et al. reported in European Journal 2015, 21, 17220–17223 and Journal of Fluorine Chemistry 2017, 198, 89–93 that the presence of an iron catalyst and the use of DMF as a solvent promoted decarboxylative perfluoroalkylation, wherein the above documents only disclosed reactions with aldehydes, which were converted into secondary alcohols. The yield obtained was about 60%:

[0010]

[0011] In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the known synthesis methods and the high demand for polyfluorinated tertiary alcohols, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel, efficient and economical synthesis method for producing polyfluorinated tertiary alcohols.

[0012] Thus, there is provided a process for preparing a polyfluorinated alcohol of formula (I) from a ketone of formula (II) and a carboxylate of formula (III):
