The first example of a preparative 1,4-perfluoroalkylation using (perfluoroalkyl)trimethylsilanes ☆

Abstract Reactions of 2-perfluoroalkylchromones with (perfluoroalkyl)trimethylsilanes proceed as a 1,4-nucleophilic perfluoroalkylation to give 2,2-bis(perfluoroalkyl)chroman-4-ones in high yields after acid hydrolysis. Oxidation of 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-6-methylchroman-4-one with K 2 S 2 O 8 leads to fluorinated analogs of natural lactarochromal and the corresponding acid.

Convenient synthesis of ethyl 4-aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-carboxylates and 4-aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones: novel highly reactive CF3-containing building blocks.

An expedient synthesis of a series of 2-pyrones, bearing a CF 3 group at the 6-position and aryl group at position 4, from readily available aryl-4,4,4-trifluorobutane-1,3-diones, PCl 5, and sodium diethyl malonate is described.

Synthesis of 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dihydro-4H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones and 2-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones from 2-trifluoromethylchromones and ethyl mercaptoacetate

The redox reaction of 2-trifluoromethylchromones with ethyl mercaptoacetate in the presence of triethylamine results in the formation of 1,2-dihydrothieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones and diethyl 3,4-dithiadipate in high yields. Oxidation of the first compounds with nitrogen dioxide gave 1,2-dihydrothieno[2,3-c]chromen-3,4-diones which were converted into thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4-ones.

Synthesis and some properties of 6-di(tri)fluoromethyl-and 5-di(tri)fluoroacetyl-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones

Condensation of 4-acetyl-5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazole with RFCO2Et (RF = CF2H, CF3) in the presence of LiH affords 4-di(tri)fluoroacetoacetyl-5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazoles from which 6-di(tri)fluoromethyl-and 5-di(tri)fluoroacetyl-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrano[2,3-c]pyrazol-4(1H)-ones were synthesized. The reactions of pyrano-pyrazoles with hydrazine hydrate, ethyl mercaptoacetate, or aromatic amines proceed at the C(6) atom with pyrone ring opening and formation of aminoenones, pyrazoles, or thiophenes with the 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-pyrazolyl fragment.

Unexpected synthesis of dihydrothienocoumarin derivatives from 2-trifluoromethylchromones and ethyl mercaptoacetate

The redox reaction of 2-trifluoromethylchromones with ethyl mercaptoacetate in the presence of triethylamine results in the formation of dihydrothienocoumarin derivatives and diethyl 3,4-dithiadipate in high yields.

2-Trif luoromethyl-4H-thiochromen-4-one and 2-trif luoromethyl-4H-thiochromene-4-thione: Synthesis and reactivities

Abstract2-Trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromene-4-thione obtained from 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromen-4-one and P2S5 reacts with aromatic amines, hydrazine hydrate, phenylhydrazine, and hydroxylamine at the C(4) atom of the chromene ring to give the corresponding anils, azine, hydrazones, and oxime of thiochromone. 2-Trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromen-4-one is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in AcOH into 4-oxo-2-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromene 1,1-dioxide and reduced by NaBH4 to 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromen-4-ol or cis-2-(trifluoromethyl)thiochroman-4-ol. When treated with hydrazine hydrate, thiochromen-4-one gives 3(5)-(2-mercaptophenyl)-5(3)-trifluoromethylpyrazole.

7-Polyfluoroalkylnorkhellins: synthesis and reactions with alkyl mercaptoacetates

New R F -containing benzofuran derivatives of 2-oxa-7-thiabicyclo[3.2.1]octane and dihydrothienopsoralens were synthesized from 7-polyfluoroalkylnorkhellins and alkyl mercaptoacetates.

Trifluoroacetylation of ethyl 2,4-dioxopentanoate. The first synthesis of 4-oxo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid and its derivatives

Condensation of ethyl 2,4-dioxopentanoate with ethyl trifluoroacetate in the presence of NaOEt leads to ethyl 4-oxo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-pyran-2-carboxylate, from which the corresponding acid and its amide, as well as 4-hydroxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxamide were obtained.

First example of regioselective nucleophilic 1,6-addition of trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane to 4H-chromene derivatives

Condensation of 2-trifluoromethylchromone with diethyl malonate, ethyl cyanoacetate, and Meldrum’s acid gave the corresponding methylidene derivatives of 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-chromene. Nucleophilic 1,6-addition of an excess of Me3SiCF3 in the presence of Me4NF to those obtained from the former two compounds afforded 4-substituted 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromenes.

A Novel and Simple Synthesis of 2-(Trifluoromethyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-ones

Abstract Alkyl 2-mercaptophenyl ketones react with trifluoroacetic anhydride in the presence of triethylamine to give 2-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-ones, which are transformed into the corresponding pyrazoles by treatment with hydrazine hydrate and into 1,1-dioxides by oxidation with H2O2 in AcOH.
