We report a transition-metal-free coupling of aldehydes and ketones with geminal bis(boron) building blocks which provides the coupled, homologated carbonyl compound upon oxidation. This reaction not only extends an alkyl chain containing a carbonyl group, it also simultaneously introduces a new carbonyl substituent. We demonstrate that enantiopure aldehydes with an enolizable stereogenic center undergo this reaction with complete retention of stereochemistry.

Difluoromethyl ketones are an under-studied class of ketones which have great potential as useful building blocks for materials and drug design. Here we report a simple and convenient synthesis of this class of compounds via a one-pot difluorination/fragmentation of 1-trifluoromethyl-1,3-diketones which should now allow the chemistry of difluoromethyl ketones to be fully developed.

Abstract

The apparent electrophilic fluorination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using Et3N·3HF as a nucleophilic fluoride source is reported. This reaction requires PhI(OAc)2 as oxidant and can be conducted safely in standard laboratory glassware. Alternative selectivity compared to Selectfluor was observed in some cases. This approach may reduce our reliance on difficult-to-handle fluorine gas and expensive electrophilic fluorinating agents derived from elemental fluorine. Mechanistic analysis related to the active fluorinating species and fluoride/acetate exchange is presented.

The Rh-catalyzed arylation of fluorinated ketones with boronic acids is reported. This efficient process allows access to fluorinated alcohols in high yields under mild conditions. Competition experiments suggest that difluoromethyl ketones are more reactive than trifluoromethyl ketones in this process, despite their decreased electronic activation, an effect we postulate to be steric in origin.
