Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of trifluoromethyl compounds, and particularly to a photocatalytic highly Z / E selective heteroatom-trifluoromethylation reaction of alkynes. Background Art

[0002] Fluoroalkyl groups, especially trifluoromethyl groups, are crucial in improving the physical and biological properties of compounds, including metabolic stability, binding selectivity, bioavailability, and lipophilicity. Over the past few decades, various perfluoroalkylation methods have been developed rapidly. Trifluoromethylated alkenes are an important class of fluorinated drug molecules but do not occur naturally in nature. Examples include the anti-breast cancer drug panomifene, crop protectants such as cyhalothrin and its analog insecticides, and tetrapeptide prodrugs for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

[0003]

[0004] In this regard, synthetic methods for the transition metal-catalyzed functionalized fluoroalkylated alkenes have been developed to achieve diverse modifications of triple bonds, including hydro-fluoroalkylation, halo-fluoroalkylation, carbon-fluoroalkylation, amino-fluoroalkylation, oxy-fluoroalkylation, and boryl-fluoroalkylation. Recently, photoredox catalysis has also been applied to trifluoromethylation reactions due to its environmental friendliness and versatility in synthetic reactions. However, the photocatalytic trifluoromethylation of alkynes mainly uses electrophilic trifluoromethyl sources through oxidative quenching, and then the vinyl radical is easily oxidized to a cationic form, making it vulnerable to nucleophilic attack. In addition, the alkenyl radical can also be trapped by hydrogen, halides, and π systems, thus forming trifluoromethylated products. Although significant progress has been made, there are still some drawbacks, such as the cost and toxicity of metal catalysts or redox reagents, the scarcity of sources of fluorinated reagents, the scope of substrates, and so on. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new and reliable methods for the synthesis of functionalized fluoroalkylated alkenes.

[0005] Herein, we describe a novel heteroatom-trifluoromethylation reaction of alkynes mediated by visible-light photoredox catalysis. CF3SO2Na is considered a convenient and easy-to-use nucleophilic trifluoromethyl reagent because they are inexpensive and stable in nature. In our method, this reagent is also found to be a key compound for achieving the difunctionalization of alkynes. The resulting vinyl radical intermediate can easily undergo bromo-trifluoromethylation, iodo-trifluoromethylation, thiol-trifluoromethylation, and seleno-trifluoromethylation reactions of alkynes with 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, diiodomethane, disulfides, and diselenides. And by adjusting the reaction conditions, specific Z / E products can be obtained with high selectivity. Summary of the Invention
