Visible Light‐Induced Aromatic Difluoroalkylation

Visible Light‐Induced Aromatic Difluoroalkylation Difluoroalkylated aromatics are important structural motifs in pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications. Herein, we report their synthesis by a mild, efficient, and convenient method using visible light photoredox catalysis. A variety of unactivated aromatics were difluoroalkylated with ethyl 2‐bromo‐2,2‐difluoroacetate (BrCF2CO2Et) in the presence of the triscyclometalated Ir complex fac‐[Ir(ppy)3] under visible light irradiation at room temperature. It is shown that reaction outcomes containing the CF2CO2Et moiety can be converted to a variety of other CF2‐containing aromatics, demonstrating the synthetic utility of the present method. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis Wiley

Abstract

Difluoroalkylated aromatics are important structural motifs in pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications. Herein, we report their synthesis by a mild, efficient, and convenient method using visible light photoredox catalysis. A variety of unactivated aromatics were difluoroalkylated with ethyl 2‐bromo‐2,2‐difluoroacetate (BrCF2CO2Et) in the presence of the triscyclometalated Ir complex fac‐[Ir(ppy)3] under visible light irradiation at room temperature. It is shown that reaction outcomes containing the CF2CO2Et moiety can be converted to a variety of other CF2‐containing aromatics, demonstrating the synthetic utility of the present method.
