The use of ()-formaldehyde for the methylation/alkylation of C(sp)-H and N-H bonds, utilizing a combination of silane and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as activators, is reported. Overcoming the complexity of C(sp)-H methylation on aryl and indole substrates, the process utilizes a Friedel-Crafts alkylation, followed by silane as a hydride donor, under a mild acidic medium. The method has been employed for the synthesis of the antifungal drug butenafine and a derivative of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) flurbiprofen.
据报道,使用()-甲醛对C(sp)-H和N-H键进行甲基化/烷基化反应,采用硅烷和六氟异丙醇(HFIP)的组合作为活化剂。该方法克服了芳基和吲哚底物上C(sp)-H甲基化的复杂性,在温和酸性介质下,通过傅克烷基化反应,然后以硅烷作为氢化物供体来实现。该方法已用于抗真菌药物布替萘芬和非甾体抗炎药(NSAID)氟比洛芬衍生物的合成。
