The direct incorporation of a trifluoromethyl group on an aromatic ring using a radical pathway has been extensively investigated. However, the direct highly para-selective C-H trifluoromethylation of a class of arenes has not been achieved. In this study, we report a light-promoted 4,5-dichlorofluorescein (DCFS)-enabled para-selective C-H trifluoromethylation of arylcarbamates using Langlois reagent. The preliminary mechanistic study revealed that the activated organic photocatalyst coordinated with the arylcarbamate led to para-selective C-H trifluoromethylation. Ten-gram scale reaction performs well highlighting the synthetic importance of this new protocol.
利用自由基途径在芳环上直接引入三氟甲基已得到广泛研究。然而,一类芳烃的直接高对位选择性C-H三氟甲基化尚未实现。在本研究中,我们报道了一种光促进的、使用朗格卢瓦试剂实现芳基氨基甲酸酯的对位选择性C-H三氟甲基化的4,5-二氯荧光素(DCFS)方法。初步机理研究表明,活化的有机光催化剂与芳基氨基甲酸酯配位导致对位选择性C-H三氟甲基化。十克规模的反应表现良好,突出了这一新方法的合成重要性。
