We examined the palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of trifluoromethyl group-substituted racemic and acyclic unsymmetrical 1,3-disubstituted allylic benzoate with a malonate anion, and succeeded in obtaining an enantiomerically enriched product in high yields with high ee values through the dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT). The best result was attained by the [Pd(C3H5)(cod)]BF4/(S)-tol-BINAP in the presence of BSA or DMAP as a base.
The palladium-catalyzed alkylation reaction of 2,3,3-trifluoroallylic carbonates with indoles afforded a trifluoromethyl group possessing 3-substituted indole derivatives. The reaction proceeded via attack of the C-3 carbon of the indoles onto the C-2 position of the allylic moiety and intramolecular construction of the trifluoromethyl group by the intramolecular fluorine atom shift from the C-2 position to the C-3 position of the allyl unit.
We demonstrated the ruthenium-catalyzed allylic amination of 2,3,3-trifluoroallylic carbonates with several types of amines. The reactions proceeded with several types of amines, and succeeded in obtaining polyfluorinated terminal alkenes possessing branched allylic amines as a single regioisomer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
