An unprecedented rhodium(III)-catalyzed hydroarylation of α,α-difluoromethylene alkynes with N-pivaloxyl aroylamides through sequential C-H activation and aryl migration is detailed herein. A large array of α,α-difluoromethylene alkynes and N-pivaloxyl aryl amides were amenable to this transformation, thus providing a novel synthetic protocol for the construction of difluorinated 2-alkenyl aniline derivatives in high yields and with excellent regioselectivity. Notably, unique fluorine effects were found to underlie the thus unconventional reaction manifold.
本文详细介绍了铑(III)催化的α,α-二氟亚甲基炔烃与 N-特戊酰基芳酰胺通过顺序 C-H 活化和芳基迁移的空前氢芳化反应。大量的α,α-二氟亚甲基炔烃和 N-特戊酰基芳酰胺都适用于这种转化,因此为构建高收率和优异区域选择性的二氟代 2-烯基苯胺衍生物提供了一种新的合成方法。值得注意的是,发现独特的氟效应是这种非常规反应机理的基础。
