Stereoselective Ag-Catalyzed 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Activated Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Azomethine Ylides
This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Chemistry – A European Journal 22.14 (2016): 4952 - 4959, which has been published in final form at http://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201504869. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Use of Self-Archived VersionsA silver-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of fluorinated azomethine ylides and activated olefins is reported. The reaction offers a straightforward and atom-economical procedure for the preparation of fluorinated pyrrolidines. Broad scope and high levels of diastereoselectivity have been achieved simply by using AgOAc/PPh3as the catalyst system. The high efficiency of the cycloaddition relies on the presence of a metal-coordinating group on the imine moiety, such as an ester or heteroaryl group. The asymmetric version of the cycloaddition has been developed by using Taniaphos as a chiral ligandFinancial support of this work by the Ministerio de EconomĂa y

α-(Imino)pyridyldifluoroethyl Phosphonates: Novel Promising Building Blocks in Synthesis of Biorelevant Aminophosphonic Acids Derivatives
A convenient synthetic approach to previously unknown NH-iminophosphonates bearing 2-, 3-, and 4-pyridyldifluoromethyl groups at the imine carbon atom was developed. The synthetic potential of these novel building blocks was demonstrated by their conversion into highly functionalized acyclic and heterocyclic aminophosphonates and phosphonic acids combining in their structure biorelevant aminophosphonic fragment, difluoromethyl group, and pyridyl, piperidyl, thiazolidin-4-one, or thiazidinan-4-one heterocyclic moieties in a single molecular platform
“Reported, but Still Unknown.” A Closer Look into 3,4-Bis- and 3,4,5-Tris(trifluoromethyl)pyrazoles
Straightforward practical synthetic approaches to 3,4-bis-
and
3,4,5-trisÂ(trifluoromethyl)Âpyrazoles have been developed. The key
step of the both syntheses is a transformation of the carboxylic group
in a pyrazole core into the trifluoromethyl group by sulfur tetrafluoride.
The elaborated synthetic protocols allow gram-scale preparation of
the target products. The obtained compounds are comprehensively characterized
by means of crystallographic analysis, determination of p<i>K</i><sub>a</sub> values and fluorescence measurements
