Diarylprolinol as a Ligand for Enantioselective Alkynylation of Cyclic Imines
2017
An easily accessible prolinol derived ligand, (S)-bis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)(pyrrolidin-2-yl)methanol, has been efficiently applied in the catalytic enantioselective addition of terminal alkynes to cyclic imines using dimethylzinc (Me2Zn) under mild reaction conditions. The developed catalytic system led to chiral propargylic sulfamidates with high yields (up to 97%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).
Understanding the stereoselectivity in Brønsted acid catalysed Povarov reactions generating cis/trans CF3-substituted tetrahydroquinolines: a DFT stu…
2016
The Bronsted acid (BA) catalysed Povarov reactions of (E)-1-phenyl-N-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) methanimine with 1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one (VPO) and with allyltrimethylsilane (ATMS), affording CF3-substituted cis/trans tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) derivatives, have theoretically been studied using the M06-2X functional together with the standard 6-31G(d) basis set. These BA catalysed Povarov reactions are multistep processes initialised by the nucleophilic attack of the non-substituted carbon atom of the nucleophilic ethylene on the imine carbon atom of the super-electrophilic protonated imine, yielding the corresponding cationic intermediate along the endo/exo stereoisomeric approach mode.

Trinuclear Mo3S7 clusters coordinated to dithiolate or diselenolate ligands and their use in the preparation of magnetic single component molecular c…
2008
A general route for the preparation of a series of dianionic Mo3S7 cluster complexes bearing dithiolate or diselenolate ligands, namely, [Mo3S7L3](2-) (where L = tfd (bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dithiolate) (4(2-)), bdt (1,2-benzenedithiolate) (5(2-)), dmid (1,3-dithia-2-one-4,5-dithiolate) (6(2-)), and dsit (1,3-dithia-2-thione-4,5-diselenolate) (7(2-))) is reported by direct reaction of [Mo3S7Br6](2-) and (n-Bu)2Sn(dithiolate). The redox properties, molecular structure, and electronic structure (BP86/VTZP) of the 4(2-) to 7(2-) clusters have also been investigated. The HOMO orbital in all complexes is delocalized over the ligand and the Mo3S7 cluster core. Ligand contributions to the HOMO ra…
Enantioselective Zirconium-Catalyzed Friedel−Crafts Alkylation of Pyrrole with Trifluoromethyl Ketones
2009
The first catalytic enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of pyrrole with 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenones to give pyrroles with a trifluoromethyl-substituted tertiary alcohol moiety bearing a quaternary stereogenic center is described. The reaction is achieved in the presence of a 3,3'-dibromo-BINOL-Zr(IV) complex to give the expected products with high yields (up to 98%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 93% ee). The absolute stereochemistry of the products has been determined by chemical correlation.

2003
Abstract The oxidative decarboxylation of α-trifluoromethyl-α-hydroxy acids to trifluoromethyl ketones is carried out under mild catalytic aerobic conditions using a cobalt(III) complex in the presence of pivalaldehyde.
Catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to β-trifluoromethyl α,β-enones.
2014
The first enantioselective conjugate alkynylation of β-trifluoromethyl α,β-enones using terminal alkynes and a taniaphos–Cu(I) complex as catalyst is described. Ketones bearing a trifluoromethylated propargylic chiral centre in the β-position were obtained with good yields and high enantiomeric excesses (up to 99%).
Rotational spectra of gauche perfluoro-n-butane, C4F10; perfluoro-iso-butane, (CF3)3CF; and tris(trifluoromethyl)methane, (CF3)3CH
2007
Abstract The microwave spectra of the gauche conformer of perfluoro- n -butane, n -C 4 F 10 , of perfluoro- iso -butane, (CF 3 ) 3 CF, and of tris(trifluoromethyl)methane, (CF 3 ) 3 CH, have been observed and assigned. The rotational and centrifugal distortion constants for gauche n -C 4 F 10 are: A = 1058.11750(7) MHz, B = 617.6832(1) MHz, C = 552.18794(1) MHz, Δ J = 0.0257(5) kHz, δ J = 0.0052(3) kHz. A C–C–C–C dihedral angle, ω , of ∼55° has been determined. These values agree well with those obtained from a coupled cluster (CCSD/cc-PVTZ) calculation. The rotational and centrifugal distortion constants for iso -C 4 F 10 and iso -C 4 HF 9 are: B o = 816.4519(4) MHz, D J = 0.023(2) …
Highly enantioselective copper(I)-catalyzed conjugate addition of 1,3-diynes to a,b-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones
2015
[EN] The conjugate diynylation of a,b-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones is carried out in the presence of a low catalytic load (2.5 mol%) of a copper(I)–MeOBIPHEP complex, triethylamine and a terminal 1,3-diyne. Pre-metalation of the terminal 1,3-diyne with stoichiometric or higher amounts of dialkylzinc reagent is not required. The corresponding internal diynes bearing a propargylic stereogenic center are obtained with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
Diastereoselective synthesis of 2-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)piperazines as building blocks for drug discovery.
2014
The synthesis of enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-2-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)piperazines is described. It involved, as the key step, a diastereoselective nucleophilic addition of the Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF3) to alpha-amino sulfinylimines bearing Ellman's auxiliary. This methodology allows an entry into hitherto unknown trifluoromethylated and stereochemically defined piperazines, key scaffold components in medicinal chemistry.
Highly enantioselective copper(I)-catalyzed conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to 1,1-difluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-en-2-ones: new ester/amide su…
2013
A highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugate alkynylation of monoactivated enones, namely 1,1-difluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-en-2-ones, is described. The reaction products are obtained with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (from 92 to 99% ee). The β-alkynylated difluoro(phenylsulfonyl) ketones can be converted into the corresponding β-alkynylated difluoro- and trifluoromethyl ketones, esters and amides. This is the first example on the use of 1,1-difluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-en-2-ones as substrates in an enantioselective reaction, which have been shown to be new ester/amide surrogates.
