The air and moisture stable fluoroiodane 8, readily prepared on a 6 g scale by nucleophilic fluorination of the hydroxyiodane 7 with TREAT-HF, has been used as an electrophilic fluorinating reagent for the first time to monofluorinate 1,3-ketoesters and difluorinate 1,3-diketones in good isolated yields.

Efficient synthesis of fluorinated triphenylenes with enhanced arene-perfluoroarene interactions in columnar mesophases.

The high potential of non-covalent arene-fluoroarene intermolecular interactions in the design of liquid crystals lies in their ability to strongly promote self-assembly, improve the order and stability of the supramolecular mesophases, and enable tuneability of the optical and electronic properties, which can potentially be exploited for advanced applications in display technologies, photonic devices, sensors, and organic electronics. We recently successfully reported the straightforward synthesis of several mesogens containing four lateral aliphatic chains and derived from the classical triphenylene core self-assembling in columnar mesophases based on this paradigm. These mesogenic compounds were simply obtained in good yields by the nucleophilic substitution (SFAr) of various types of commercially available fluoroarenes with the electrophilic organolithium derivatives 2,2'-dilithio-4,4',5,5'-tetraalkoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (2Li- ).

Electrophilic aromatic substitution at the C5 position of isoxazolines and construction of a new quaternary carbon center were achieved in this paper. This is the first report of carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation onto isoxazoline without compromising the ring structure. Various aromatics including heteroaromatics gave the desired products in good yields, especially aromatics bearing electron-donating groups.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study measured the second-order rate constants (k) for how eight model sulfoxides react with hypochlorous acid (HOCl), finding values between 2.7 and 5.8 × 10 M s, indicating varying reactivity among the sulfoxides.
  • - A strong linear correlation (R = 0.89) was established using quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) with Taft σ* constants, suggesting that the reactions are primarily driven by HOCl, with minimal impact from other chlorine species in typical water treatment settings.
  • - Various analytical techniques revealed that major transformation products from these reactions include sulfones and Cl-substituted sulfoxides, and it was found that sul

Copper-Mediated -CF(OCF)(CFH) Transfer to Organic Electrophiles.

The integration of fluorine into medicinal compounds has become a widely used strategy to improve the biochemical and therapeutic properties of drugs. Inclusion of -CFH and -OCF fluoroalkyl groups has garnered attention due to their bioisosteric properties, enhanced lipophilicity, and potential hydrogen-bonding capability in bioactive substances. In this study, we prepared a series of stable Cu[CF(OCF)(CFH)]L complexes by insertion of commercially available perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether), CF=CF(OCF), into Cu-H bonds derived from Stryker's reagent, [CuH(PPh)], using ancillary ligands L.

The Role of Electron Transfer in Copper-Mediated C(sp)-H Trifluoromethylation.

We report copper(II) and copper(III) trifluoromethyl complexes supported by a pyridinedicarboxamide ligand (L) as a platform for investigating the role of electron transfer in C(sp)-H trifluoromethylation. While the copper(II) trifluoromethyl complex is unreactive towards (hetero)arenes, the formal copper(III) trifluoromethyl complex performs C(sp)-H trifluoromethylation of a wide range of (hetero)arenes. Mechanistic studies using the copper(III) trifluoromethyl complex suggest that the mechanism of arene trifluoromethylation is substrate-dependent.
