“…Some examples 57a-h are given in Scheme 10 starting with azaindoline 56a. 24 It is also possible to convert the substituted azaindoline product into the an azaindole, such as 58, but a strong oxidising agent is required (IBX in DMSO) 25 and the yield is modest, albeit unoptimised, no doubt reflecting the strong deactivating effect of the difluoropyridine motif.…”

The present account summarises routes to organofluorine derivatives based on the chemistry of xanthates developed in the author's laboratory. It concerns mostly radical pathways, but a few ionic transformations are also discussed. The degenerative reversible transfer of xanthates allows radical addition even to unactivated alkenes and tolerates numerous functional groups, in particular common polar groups such as ketones, esters, amides, carbamates, nitriles etc. Since the fluorine atoms can be placed on the alkene or the xanthate partner or on both, this opens a convergent approach to a vast array of otherwise inaccessible organofluorine structures that could be of interest to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries and to materials science.

Convergentr outes to av ariety of indolines, indoles, oxindoles, and their aza analogues involving radical additions of xanthates are described. Three approaches are summarized. The first is the least general and relies on the generation of aryl or heteroaryl radicals startingf rom diazonium salts. The second involves radical addition to N-allylanilines followed by ring-closure onto the aromatic core. A large varietyo fi ndolines and azaindolines can thus be obtained and, in many cases, converted into the corresponding indoles and azaindoles by variousm ethods. Thes ynthesiso f novel fluoroazaindolines and fluoroazaindoles by ar are homolytic ipso-substitution of fluorine atoms is particularly noteworthy.T he last approachh inges on the direct modification of indoles by radical addition to the pyrrole subunit of the indolen ucleus. Application of this methodology to the total synthesis of melatonin andt he alkaloids mersicarpine, caulerpine, and the pentacyclic skeleton of tronocarpine is briefly discussed. Mosto ft he compounds described herein would be difficult to obtain by more traditional routes.

This article reports on radical arylations, also highlighting the very important early achievements in this field. Included are the Meerwein arylation and the Pschorr reaction. Intramolecular homolytic aromatic substitutions with aryl radicals and various arene radical acceptors for the formation of biaryls are discussed. Along with reactive aryl radicals, nucleophilic and also electrophilic alkyl radicals can cyclize with arenes providing products of intramolecular homolytic aromatic substitution. Discussion on the mechanism is provided. Moreover, it is shown that this chemistry has been successfully used in complex natural‐products synthesis. A section is devoted to radical aryl migration reactions. Finally, reactions of aryl radicals with olefins are discussed. It is also shown that aryl radicals react efficiently with various heteroatom‐based radical acceptors for aryl‐X bond formation (X = Se, S, Te, B, P).

Synthesis of Fluoroazaindolines by an Uncommon Radical ipso Substitution of a Carbon−Fluorine Bond

Abstract: Rare examples of a synthetically useful radical ipso substitution of a carbon-fluorine bond are reported. Highly functionalized fluoroazaindoline structures have thus been prepared with use of cheap and readily available substrates and reagents.
