Synthesis of α-fluoro-β, γ-alkenylphosphonates and conjugated fluoroenynes from a common intermediate (α-fluoropropargyl) phosphonate

Stereoselective synthesis of conjugated fluoro enynes

Metalation-electrophilic fluorination of TMS- and TIPS-protected 1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl (BT) propargyl sulfones gave corresponding BT fluoropropargyl sulfones, Julia-Kocienski reagents for the synthesis of fluoro enynes. Both reagents reacted with aldehydes under mild DBU- or LHMDS-mediated conditions, giving high yields of conjugated fluoro enynes with E-stereoselectivity. In comparison to DBU-mediated reactions, stereoselectivity was higher in low-temperature LHMDS-mediated reactions. Two ketones were shown to react as well, using LHMDS as base. In situ removal of the TMS group gave terminal conjugated 2-fluoro 1,3-enynes. Synthetic utility of the fluoro enynes was demonstrated by conversion to internal alkynes and to stereoisomeric fluoro dienes via Sonogashira and Heck couplings.

The first alpha-fluoroallenylphosphonate, the synthesis of conjugated fluoroenynes, and the stereoselective synthesis of vinylfluorophosphonates using a new multifunctional fluorine-containing building block

Limitations on current methodologies for the introduction of CF(2) and CFH in complex alpha-fluorophosphonates led to the synthesis of a fluorine-containing building block TIPS-C&tbd1;CCFXP(O)(OEt)(2), where X = H or F. This multifunctional fluorine synthon reacts with carbonyl compounds under WHE conditions to give high yields of fluorinated conjugated enynes and enediyne. When X = F, trapping of the desilylated anion with an electrophile after TIPS removal provided exclusive access to gamma-substituted derivatives of alpha-fluorophosphonates. When X = H, TBAF deprotection of the silyl group yields H(2)C=C=CFP(O)(OEt)(2) through an allenyl-propargyl resonance stabilized anion. The allene moiety has been used as template in the stereoselective synthesis of alpha-fluoro-beta, gamma-diiodopropenyl phosphonate, via electrophilic iodination, and alpha-fluoro-gamma-amino-alpha,beta-unsaturated phosphonates, including unsaturated phosphononucleosides, by nucleophilic displacement of an allylic iodide. Hydroamination of H(2)C=C=CFP(O)(OEt)(2) using secondary amines produced (Z)-alpha-fluoroenaminophosphonates, whereas Diels-Alder cycloaddition with cyclopentadiene provides the corresponding exocyclic vinylfluorophosphonate.

Coupling of 2-Substituted 1-Fluorovinylstannanes with Organic Halides Catalyzed by Palladium(0)/Copper(I) Iodide. A Mild and Stereospecific Method to Monofluoroolefins

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of (E)- or (Z)-1-fluorovinylstannanes with aryl iodides and vinyl iodides provide good yields of stereoisomerically pure substituted fluoroolefins with retention of the double bond geometry. The reaction takes place with copper(I) iodide present as a cocatalyst at ambient temperature or in refluxing tetrahydrofuran and is tolerant of a variety of functional groups. Highly functionalized and stereoisomerically pure monofluorovinyl ketones also were obtained under mild conditions by the coupling of 1-fluorovinylstannanes with acid chlorides. (1)H-{(19)F} NOE NMR experiments unequivocally established the stereochemistry of the coupling products E-14 and Z-14.
