Article Abstract

We report a mechanochemical approach for the ruthenium catalyzed trifluoromethylation of arylboronic acids and phenols under the synergy of trifluoromethylacetamide and pyrylium tetrafluoroborate (Pyry-BF₄). This is the first ever report on trifluoromethylation using in situ generated N-trifluoromethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate as the CF source under ball-milling conditions. The present one-pot transformation enabled direct trifluoromethylation of arylboronic acids and phenols to deliver the respective trifluoromethyl arenes and aryl trifluoromethyl ethers. It has also shown a remarkable compatibility toward aroyltrifluoroborates for the mechanochemical synthesis of aryl trifluoromethyl ketones. This method offers several advantages, including operational simplicity and broad substrate compatibility. Moreover, the current mechanochemical approach not only proceeds under sustainable conditions but also provides a practical route for the late-stage modifications of related substrates to access the valuable fluorinated compounds.

Revealing the Coordination and Mediation Mechanism of Arylboronic Acids Toward Energy-Dense Li-S Batteries.

Adv Mater

May 2025

Institute of Materials Research, Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, Tsinghua University, Shenzhen, 518055, P. R. China.

Lithium-sulfur (Li─S) batteries offer a promising avenue for the next generation of energy-dense batteries. However, it is quite challenging to realize practical Li─S batteries under limited electrolytes and high sulfur loading, which may exacerbate problems of interface deterioration and low sulfur utilization. Herein, the coordination and mediation chemistry of arylboronic acids that enable energy-dense and long-term-cycling Li─S batteries is proposed.

Background: Heart-type fatty acid binding proteins (FABP3) constitute a family of lipid chaperone proteins. They are found in the cytosol and enhance cellular fatty acid solubilisation, transport, and metabolism. FABP3 is highly expressed in the myocardium and is released from myocytes during myocardial damage.

Palladium-Catalyzed Trifluoroacetylation of Arylboronic Acids Using a Trifluoroacetylation Reagent.

Org Lett

August 2024

State Key Laboratory of Fine Chemicals, Frontier Science Center for Smart Materials, School of Chemical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China.

A new trifluoroacetylation reagent was developed by using inexpensive and readily available trifluoroacetic anhydride and -phenyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide for the first time. The reaction of (het)aryl boronic acids with the new trifluoroacetylation reagent, -phenyl--tosyltrifluoroacetamide, proceeded smoothly in the presence of a palladium catalyst to provide trifluoromethyl ketones in satisfactory to excellent yields. Various groups, including the synthetically useful functional groups Cl, TMS, and PhCO, were tolerated well under the current reaction conditions.

Highly Enantioselective Chiral Diol-Catalyzed Conjugate Addition of Boronic Acids to α,β-Unsaturated Trifluoromethyl Ketones.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study discusses a BINOL-catalyzed process that allows for the enantioselective addition of organic boronic acids to specific ketones, resulting in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities, reaching up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee).
  • - This method uniquely avoids the formation of unwanted 1,2-addition products, focusing on creating a chiral center at the β-position of the ketones instead.
  • - Additionally, the procedure is characterized by mild reaction conditions, a wide range of applicable substrates, and compatibility with various types of boronic acids, making it suitable for larger-scale production.
