Molecules 2024; 29:2905. [PMID: 38930971 PMCID: PMC11206660 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29122905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The direct 1,6-nucleophilic difluoromethylation, trifluoromethylation, and difluoroalkylation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with Me3SiRf (Rf = CF2H, CF3, CF2CF3, CF2COOEt, and CF2SPh) under mild conditions are described. Although Me3SiCF2H shows lower reactivity than Me3SiCF3, it can react with p-QMs promoted by CsF/18-Crown-6 to give structurally diverse difluoromethyl products in good yields. The products can then be further converted into fluoroalkylated para-quinone methides and α-fluoroalkylated diarylmethanes.

Abstract
Reported herein is a streamlined protocol to produce pyridylated diarylmethanes through pyridine-boryl radical induced reductive coupling between para-quinone methides (p-QMs) and 4-cyanopyridines using bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2 pin2 ) as a templated reagent. The metal-free process is characterized by an operationally simple approach, excellent chemoselectivity (1,2- vs. 1,6-selectivity), and a broad substrate scope with good functional group compatibility. The mechanistic studies provided important insights into the reductive cross-coupling process between diarylmethyl radical and pyridine-boryl radical. Moreover, part of the obtained pyridylated diarylmethane products were screened against a panel of cancer cell lines, and 3 v was confirmed to significantly inhibit the proliferation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. This method offers a platform for the preparation of new lead compounds with antitumor activity.

Abstract
A new efficient formal [2 + 3] cyclization of p-hydroxybenzyl alcohols with difluoroenoxysilanes has been established. This convenient one-pot sequential procedure enables the divergent construction of highly functionalized gem-difluorinated oxa-spirocyclohexadienones under mild conditions. As opposed to the common C1 synthons in previous studies, difluoroenoxysilanes acted as new 3-atom (CCO) synthons for the first time here. The AcOH and H2O generated in the reaction are critical for the reactions to proceed smoothly.

Abstract
Chemoselective sulfonylation and isonitrilation reactions for the divergent synthesis of valuable diarylmethyl sulfones and isonitrile diarylmethanes starting from easy-to-synthesize para-quinone methides (p-QMs) and commercially abundant p-toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) by using respectively zinc iodide and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as catalysts were developed. The distinguishing feature of this method is that TosMIC plays a dual role from the same substrates in the reaction: as a sulfonyl source or as an isonitrile source. The synthetic utility of this protocol was also demonstrated in the synthesis of difluoroalkylated diarylmethane 5 and diarylmethane ketone derivatives 6 and 7, which are important core structures in natural products and medicines.

Abstract
A novel iron-catalyzed ring opening of cyclopropanols and their 1,6-conjugate addition to p-quinone methides for accessing substituted phenols is disclosed. In this protocol, various cyclopropanols are converted to alkyl radicals and undergo 1,6-conjugate addition to p-quinone methides toward C-C bond formation. The salient features of this methodology include operationally simple and mild reaction conditions, environmentally benign protocol, high efficiency, inexpensive catalyst, good to excellent yield, and a wide range of substrate scope.
