Copper-mediated chemoselective trifluoromethylation at the benzylic position by the use of shelf-stable electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagents 3 in good to high yields under mild conditions is described for the first time. The generality of this trifluoromethylation for a wide variety of benzyl bromides facilitates the rapid creation of structural diversity of medicinal candidates in drug discovery.

Catalytic Reductive Amination and Tandem Amination-Alkylation of Esters Enabled by a Cationic Iridium Complex.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
December 2024
Department of Chemistry and Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, 361005, P. R. China.
Reported herein is a convenient and efficient method for one-pot, catalytic reductive amination, as well as the first multi-component tandem reductive amination-functionalization of bench-stable and readily available common carboxylic esters. This method is based on the cationic [Ir(COD)]BArF-catalyzed chemoselective hydrosilylation of esters, followed by one-pot acid-mediated amination and nucleophilic addition. The reaction was conducted under mild conditions at a very low catalyst loading (0.

R. China.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new method for synthesizing 2-fluoro-3-aryl-4-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-][1,3]thiazines and -trifluoromethyl--arylthio tertiary alcohols using 2-mercaptoimidazoles and -CF alkenes without using metals.
- The process is controlled by either base or light, enabling precise reactions: base-mediated methods lead to thiazines, while light-driven techniques create tertiary alcohols.
- The alcohols are produced through a radical cascade reaction that occurs without needing additional catalysts, showcasing a more efficient and environmentally friendly synthetic route.
Chemodivergent alkylation of trifluoromethyl alkenes photocatalytic coupling with alkanes.

-Difluoroalkenes and trifluoromethyl alkanes are prominent structures in biologically active compounds. Radical alkylation of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes represents a useful strategy to access these structures. However, reported methods have relied on the use of pre-functionalized radical precursors and examples involving the use of simple hydrocarbons as coupling partners are elusive.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
October 2024
Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University, 2145N Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL, 60208, USA.
Here we present the first successful hydrotrifluoromethylation of unactivated olefins under electrochemical conditions. Commercially available trifluoromethyl thianthrenium salt (TT-CFBF , E=-0.85 V vs Fc/Fc) undergoes electrochemical reduction to generate CF radicals which add to olefins with exclusive chemoselectivity.
