Abstract
We herein describe a stereodivergent C-F bond functionalization of gem-difluoroalkenes. Using trisubstituted β,β-difluoroacrylates, both E and Z monofluoroalkene products can be obtained with excellent diastereoselectivities. The design of two different reaction manifolds, i.e., Pd(II)- versus Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of boronic acids, is the key to stereocontrol.

[PMID: 37470697 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202308690] [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: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
The selective transition-metal catalyzed C-F bond functionalization of inexpensive industrial fluorochemicals represents one of the most attractive approaches to valuable fluorinated compounds. However, the selective C(sp2 )-F bond carbofunctionalization of refrigerant hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) remains challenging. Here, we report a nickel-catalyzed selective C(sp2 )-F bond alkylation of HFO-1234yf with alkylzinc reagents. The resulting 2-trifluoromethylalkenes can serve as a versatile synthon for diversified transformations, including the anti-Markovnikov type hydroalkylation and the synthesis of bioactive molecule analogues. Mechanistic studies reveal that lithium salt is essential to promote the oxidative addition of Ni0 (Ln ) to the C-F bond; the less electron-rich N-based ligands, such as bipyridine and pyridine-oxazoline, feature comparable or even higher oxidative addition rates than the electron-rich phosphine ligands; the strong σ-donating phosphine ligands, such as PMe3 , are detrimental to transmetallation, but the less electron-rich and bulky N-based ligands, such as pyridine-oxazoline, facilitate transmetallation and reductive elimination to form the final product.

Abstract
An effective Pd-catalyzed regioselective hydroesterification of 1,3-conjugated enynes with aryl formates was developed. Under the Pd-CyDPEphos catalytic system, the conjugated enynes reacted with phenyl formates and selectively provided the 2-ester-substituted 1,3-dienes in good yields with excellent regioselectivities.

Abstract
Alkenes and their derivatives are featured widely in a variety of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials. Significant efforts have been made toward the development of new and practical methods to access this important class of compounds by selectively activating the alkenyl C(sp2)-H bonds in recent years. In this comprehensive review, we describe the state-of-the-art strategies for the direct functionalization of alkenyl sp2 C-H and C-F bonds until June 2022. Moreover, metal-free, photoredox, and electrochemical strategies are also covered. For clarity, this review has been divided into two parts; the first part focuses on currently available alkenyl sp2 C-H functionalization methods using different alkene derivatives as the starting materials, and the second part describes the alkenyl sp2 C-F bond functionalization using easily accessible gem-difluoroalkenes as the starting material. This review includes the scope, limitations, mechanistic studies, stereoselective control (using directing groups as well as metal-migration strategies), and their applications to complex molecule synthesis where appropriate. Overall, this comprehensive review aims to document the considerable advancements, current status, and emerging work by critically summarizing the contributions of researchers working in this fascinating area and is expected to stimulate novel, innovative, and broadly applicable strategies for alkenyl sp2 C-H and C-F bond functionalizations in the coming years.

Abstract
gem-Difluoroalkenes (=CF2), which normally act as metabolically stable bioisosteres for carbonyl groups (C═O), are widely applied in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals and are also used as building blocks in organic synthesis. Herein, an example of Cu/Pd-catalyzed borodifluorovinylation was achieved using alkynes, difluoroethylene bromide, and B2pin2 as chemical feedstocks, providing the corresponding conjugated gem-difluoroalkene scaffold with good functional group compatibility. Moreover, an array of fluorinated synthons can be obtained through further transformations.

Abstract
We herein describe selective C-F bond functionalizations of tetrasubstituted gem-difluoroalkenes and trisubstituted monofluoroalkenes using Grignard reagents without the transition metal catalyst. β,β-Difluoroacrylates react with Grignard reagents under mild conditions to afford tetrasubstituted (E)-β-monofluoroacrylates. Experimental and computational studies revealed that the selectivity stems from the intrinsic reactivity difference between the (E)- and (Z)-isomers toward excess Grignard reagent, which leads to the resolution of the two products.

Abstract
The first synthesis of gem-difluorinated ene-ynamides is presented via deprotonation of trifluoromethylated N-allenamides and δ extrusion of fluorine. These highly reactive building blocks, owing to their dual functional groups, offer a unique entry to difluorinated dienes and to stereodefined, monofluoro-substituted dienes. Stereoselective addition to the ynamide moiety led to difluorinated dienes. A stereocontrolled domino δ elimination reaction followed by an addition/elimination sequence from trifluoromethylated N-allenamides provided exclusively stereodefined monofluorinated ene-ynamides.

Abstract
Organoboron and organosilane compounds are widely used in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the C-F bond functionalization is a useful tool for the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. In particular, the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules through defluoroborylation and defluorosilylation reactions will provide good opportunities for the development and diversification of new medicinal compounds. Thus, this feature article summarized the methods for the defluorosilylation and defluoroborylation of unreactive monofluoroarenes and gem-difluoroalkenes from 2000 to 2021, which might create some new ideas and will be helpful for further research in this field. These defluoroborylation and defluorosilylation strategies can be applied to synthesize silylated arenes, borylated arenes, silylated fluoroalkenes, and borylated fluoroalkenes, thus providing impressive advantages over traditional methods for the synthesis of organoboron and organosilane compounds in terms of divergent structures.
