Published: June 2010

Trifluoromethyl nitrones were obtained in high yields by condensation of various hydroxylamines with trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate. The nucleophilic diastereoselective additions of organometallic reagents to these nitrones afforded the corresponding optically active trifluoroethyl hydroxylamines in good yields.

This review explores the significance of trifluoromethylnitrones in synthesizing fluorine-containing compounds, with a particular focus on trifluoromethylated heterocycles. It explores the versatility of trifluoromethylnitrones, especially in [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions, highlighting their unique reactivity with various dienophile substrates. Trifluoromethylnitrones are valuable precursors for the rapid synthesis of medicinally important trifluoromethylated heterocycles, including isoxazolidines, dihydroisoxazoles, oxathiazolidines, β-lactams, and aziridines.

Trapping of Arynes with Generated Aryltrifluoromethylnitrones Enables Access to Trifluoromethylated Benzoxazolines.

Herein, we report a rare example of trapping arynes using generated aryltrifluoromethylnitrone to access an important class of trifluoromethylated benzoxazolines. This three-component strategy involves a nitrone formation/[3 + 2] cycloaddition/thermal rearrangement cascade and furnishes trifluoromethylated benzoxazolines in high yields. The scope of the reaction is quite broad with respect to aryltrifluorodiazoethanes, nitrosoarenes, and arynes.

Synthesis and spin trapping properties of polystyrene supported trifluoromethylated cyclic nitrones.

Free Radic Res

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA.

Polystyrene supported fluorinated cyclic nitrone spin-traps: Resin-2-HFDMPO (2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-1-oxide) and Resin-2-PFDMPO (2-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole 1-oxide) containing a trifluoromethyl pyrroline-N-oxide core were developed to detect free radicals under flow conditions. A continuous flow EPR technique was used to evaluate the spin trapping properties of these tethered nitrones. While both resins trapped radicals, polymer supported nitrone Resin-2-PFDMPO with a longer and more flexible linker showed a more information rich spectrum than Resin-2-HFDMPO.

Additive-Free Three-Component Synthesis of Spiro-isoxazolidine-oxindoles Employing Trifluorodiazoethane.

Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research , New Delhi 110001 , India.

An efficient three-component protocol for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated spiro-isoxazolidine-oxindoles has been developed. This approach employs the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of trifluoromethyl nitrone, generated in situ from trifluorodiazoethane and nitrosoarene, with phenacylideneoxindoles. A range of phenacyclideneoxindoles and nitrosoarenes can be subjected to this reaction to generate the spiro-isoxazolidine-oxindole derivatives.

Trifluoromethyl vinyl sulfide, a potential building block for pharmaceutically and agrochemically relevant products, is prepared and used for the first time in high-pressure-mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with nitrones to synthesize (trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl isoxazolidines.
