Owing to the versatile synthetic utility of its carbon-carbon double bond, low-cost industrial chemical 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (TFP) represents one of the most straightforward and cost-efficient precursors to prepare trifluoromethylated compounds. However, only limited methods for the efficient transformations of TFP have been reported so far. Here, we report a nickel-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of TFP. The reaction uses inexpensive NiCl·6HO as the catalyst and 4,4'-biMeO-bpy and PCyPh as the ligands, allowing the alkyl-arylation of TFP with a variety of tertiary alkyl iodides and arylzinc reagents in high efficiency. This nickel-catalyzed process overcomes the previous challenges by suppressing β-H and β-F eliminations from TFP, rendering this strategy effective for the transformations of TFP into medicinal interest trifluoromethylated compounds.
由于其碳 - 碳双键具有广泛的合成用途,低成本工业化学品3,3,3 - 三氟丙烯(TFP)是制备三氟甲基化化合物最直接且成本效益最高的前体之一。然而,迄今为止,仅报道了有限的有效转化TFP的方法。在此,我们报道了一种镍催化的TFP双碳官能化反应。该反应使用廉价的NiCl·6H₂O作为催化剂,4,4'-联甲氧基联吡啶和三环己基苯基膦作为配体,能使TFP与多种叔烷基碘化物和芳基锌试剂高效地进行烷基 - 芳基化反应。这种镍催化过程通过抑制TFP的β - H和β - F消除克服了先前的挑战,使得该策略对于将TFP转化为具有药用价值的三氟甲基化化合物有效。
