Cu(III)-CF compounds are reported herein as novel coupling reagents to mediate ester synthesis from carboxyl acids and alcohols/phenols. Carboxylic acids are transformed to trifluoromethyl ester and acyl fluoride activated species that interact with each other. The broad substrate scope and late-stage application of this method are demonstrated. This study opens up new opportunities to develop interesting reactions using Cu(III)-CF compounds without transferring a CF group to the products.
本文报道了 Cu(III)-CF 化合物作为新型偶联试剂,用于介导羧酸和醇/酚的酯化反应。羧酸被转化为三氟甲酯和酰氟活化物种,它们相互作用。该方法具有广泛的底物范围和后期应用,证明了这一点。这项研究为使用 Cu(III)-CF 化合物开发有趣的反应提供了新的机会,而无需将 CF 基团转移到产物中。
