Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorinated tertiary amines have wide applications in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and functional materials due to their unique biological and chemical properties. Drugs such as posaconazole, fluoroerythromycin, and fluoxetine exhibit good biological activity in antibacterial, antidepressant, antifungal, anticancer, and diabetes treatment. Studies have shown that introducing fluorine atoms or fluorine-containing groups into drug molecules can significantly improve their metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and biological activity. Traditional reductive amination and substitution reactions have significant limitations in the synthesis of branched tertiary amines.
