The CFO functional group is a unique fluorinated group that has received a great deal of attention in medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry. However, trifluoromethoxylation of substrates remains a challenging task. Herein we describe the dehydroxytrifluoromethoxylation of alcohols promoted by a RP/ICHCHI (RP = PhP or PhPCH=CH) system in DMF. P-I halogen bonding drives the reaction of RP with ICHCHI in DMF to generate iodophosphonium salt (RPI I) and a Vilsmeier-Haack-type intermediate, both of which could effectively activate alcohols, thus enabling a fast (15 min) trifluoromethoxylation reaction. A wide substrate scope and a high level of functional group tolerance were observed.
CFO官能团是一种独特的氟化基团,在药物化学和农业化学领域受到了广泛关注。然而,底物的三氟甲氧基化仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务。在此,我们描述了在DMF中由RP/ICHCHI(RP = PhP或PhPCH=CH)体系促进的醇的脱羟基三氟甲氧基化反应。P-I卤键驱动RP与ICHCHI在DMF中反应生成碘鎓盐(RPI I)和Vilsmeier-Haack型中间体,这两者都能有效活化醇,从而实现快速(15分钟)的三氟甲氧基化反应。观察到了广泛的底物范围和较高的官能团耐受性。
