Article Abstract

Unlike the well-established fluoroalkylation, the direct incorporation of multiple fluorine atoms into small molecules iterative fluorinations has been much less investigated. Herein, we report a hypervalent iodine catalytically selective multi-fluorination in which the fluorination degree is controlled by the delicate balance between the HF/amine ratios. The and of hypervalent iodine catalysis and the previously established electrochemical approach in the iterative multi-fluorinations are also provided.

We describe a new Cu-catalyzed electrophilic amination of rapidly prepared, air-stable polyfunctional organozinc compounds using hypervalent iodine reagents bearing transferable aryl/alkyl amines. A wide range of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl amines were prepared. The mechanism of the reaction was investigated using density functional theory calculations.

ConspectusAlkynes are one of the most fundamental functional groups in organic synthesis due to the versatile chemistry of the triple bond, their unique rigid structure, and their use in bioconjugation. The introduction of alkynes onto organic molecules traditionally relies on nucleophilic activation, often requiring strong bases or metal catalysts. These conditions, however, restrict applications involving biomolecules such as peptides and proteins due to functional group incompatibility.

The first C-bound ortho-carborane (oCb) supported hypervalent iodine(III) -IL type species are reported in RoCb-IL, for L = F and OTf, including two structurally verified -IF examples. Initial synthetic observations and supporting theoretical calculations suggest that the new oCb-IL type compounds will be more reactive than any known Ar-IL compound. This is exemplified by a previously unobserved oxidative demethylation of trimethylsilyl fluoride, suggesting that many substrates unreactive toward Ar-IL could be susceptible to oxidation by oCb-IL.

Hydroazidation of alkenes provides a direct entry to alkyl azides, which are prevalent structural motifs in medicine development and chemical biology probes. While direct access to anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation products has seen recent progress, these protocols are restricted to highly oxidative hypervalent iodine reagents or superstoichiometric metal salts under photochemical conditions with moderate olefin generality. Thus, the development of a mild, catalytic, redox-neutral hydroazidation with high anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity compatible with diverse classes of alkene remains challenging.

We report here a concise and regioselective synthesis of benzofulvene derivatives via an iodine(III)-mediated cyclization cascade of diynes. For 1,2-dialkynylbenzene substrates, the iodanylative cyclization is accompanied by triflation or fluorination, depending on the iodine(III) reagent, affording stereodefined benzofulvene derivatives. In contrast, the reaction of 1,6-diyne substrates is terminated by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization to deliver fused benzofulvene frameworks.
