- 9-Borabicyclo[3.3.l]nonane-induced Friedel-Crafts benzylation of arenes with benzyl fluorides
-
Friedel-Crafts benzylation of arenes with benzyl fluorides using 9-borabicyclo[3.3.l]nonane (9-BBN) as a mediator has been developed. This provides a simple and cheap route to the activation of C-F bonds to synthesize 1,1-diarylmethanes in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) under mild conditions. Functional group tolerance and the mechanism are considered.

- Novel Synthesis of 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl Compounds from Homoallylic Alcohols: A Copper(I) Iodide-initiated Trifluoromethyl-Dehydroxylation Process
-
Benzyl, prop-2-enyl and allyl chlorodifluoroacetates 3a, bromodifluoroacetates 3b or fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetates 3c, when decomposed in the presence of 1 equivalent of copper(I) iodide at an appropriate temperature in dimethylformamide, gave the corresponding trifluoromethyl derivatives in good to excellent yields.The products can also be obtained directly by ester exchange of XCF2CO2Et (X = FSO2, Cl, Br) 6 and the corresponding alcohols in the presence of KF and CuI.A trifluoromethylation-dehydroxylation mechanism, initiated by CuI, is proposed.
