Fluoroalkenes serve as bioisosteres to peptide bonds and are resistant to hydrolytic enzymes in vivo. Currently, α-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are readily accessible via general synthetic methods; however, β-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl groups are more challenging to construct. To address this need, we have designed a reagent, morpholine 3,3,3-trifluoropropanamide, that creates ()-β-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated amides upon the addition of many commonly used Grignard reagents. Reactions with this reagent enable a high level of stereocontrol in the fluoroalkene product.
氟代烯烃可用作肽键的生物等排体,并且在体内抵抗水解酶。目前,α-氟-α,β-不饱和羰基化合物可以通过一般的合成方法轻松获得;但是,β-氟-α,β-不饱和羰基基团的构建更具挑战性。为了满足这一需求,我们设计了一种试剂,即吗啉 3,3,3-三氟丙酰胺,当添加许多常用的格氏试剂时,该试剂会生成()-β-氟-α,β-不饱和酰胺。该试剂的反应使氟代烯烃产物具有高水平的立体控制。
