Copper‐Catalyzed Three‐Component Reactions of 2‐Iodo‐2,2‐difluoroacetophenones, Alkynes, and Trimethylsilyl Cyanide

Abstract: A Cu(I)‐catalyzed three‐component reaction of 2‐iodo‐2,2‐difluoroacetophenones, alkynes, and TMSCN is described. The reaction provided a facile method for the synthesis of difluoroacyl‐substituted nitriles, which might be served as potentially useful fluoroorganic intermediates for further transformation in drug discovery. This method has broad substrate scope, good efficiency, and excellent stereoselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic investigation indicated that a radical‐mediated process was involved in this … Show more

“…As we know, organonitriles can be used as important bioactive molecular, [15] as well as useful synthons for the preparation of ketones, carboxylic acids, and amides, etc [16] . Recently, we have reported a copper‐catalyzed reaction of 2‐iodo‐2,2‐difluoroacetophenones, alkyne and trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to provide a facile method for the synthesis of difluoroacyl‐substituted nitriles [16c] . Hence, in this work, we turned to explore the three‐component reaction of α‐halo‐α‐fluoroketones with styrene and TMSCN under Copper‐catalyzed reaction condition.…”

“…Mechanistic insight, including DFT calculations, revealed involvement of a (isocyano)Cu(II)/Cu(I) catalytic cycle rather than cyanoCu(III) species and rationalized the high diastereoselectivity controlled by a remote stereogenic centre. Recently, Wu utilized a similar catalyst system for cyanofluoroalkylation of alkynes with iododfluoromethyl ketones [205] . Shortly after, the enantioselective variant of the transformation was disclosed utilizing low loading of a Cu−bisoxazoline complex and benzoylperoxide [206] .…”

“…Cu(I) catalyzed the three component reaction of 2-iodo-2,2-difluoroacetophenone, acetynes and TMSCN, which was presented by Wu’s group ( Scheme 24 ) [ 77 ]. This reaction provides a simple strategy for the synthesis of difluoroacyl-substituted nitriles, which may be a potentially useful fluoro-organic intermediate for further conversion in drug discovery.…”
