A diazirine compound, 1,4-(1-azi-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzoic acid, was used as a stable carbene precursor to react with Si-H terminated porous silicon (PSi) under microwave irradiation. After formation of a molecular monolayer, the end carboxyl group was
Highly enantioselective construction of CF3-bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters: Hiral spiro-fused bisoxazoline ligands with 1,1′-binaphthyl sidearm for asymmetric Michael-type Friedel-Crafts reaction

A novel class of chiral spiro-fused bisoxazoline ligands possessing a deep chiral pocket was prepared. The developed ligands have been employed in the nickel-catalyzed highly enantioselective Michael-type Friedel-Crafts reaction, affording the products bearing a trifluoromethylated all-carbon quaternary stereocenter with moderate to excellent yields (up to 99%) and good to excellent enantioselectivies (up to > 99.9% ee). Moreover, a proposed model of chiral pocket revealed that the attack of indole from the Re-face of β-CF3-β-disubstituted nitroalkene was favorable.

A general method for site-selective difluoroalkylation of alkyl carboxylic redox esters with difluoroenoxysilanes through photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylative reaction has been developed. The reaction can also be extended to aliphatic amine derived pyridinium salts. This method has the advantages of high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope, including primary, secondary, and sterically hindered tertiaryl alkyl substrates, providing a general and practical route for applications in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical studies.

Described is a physical organic study of the reduction of three sets of carbonyl compounds by the NADPH-dependent enzyme Clostridium acetobutylicum alcohol dehydrogenase (CaADH). Previous studies in our group have shown this enzyme to display broad substrate promiscuity, yet remarkable stereochemical fidelity, in the reduction of carbonyl compounds, including α-, β- and γ-keto esters (d -stereochemistry), as well as α,α-difluorinated-β-keto phosphonate esters (l -stereochemistry). To better mechanistically characterize this promising dehydrogenase enzyme, we report here the results of a Hammett linear free-energy relationship (LFER) study across three distinct classes of carbonyl substrates; namely aryl aldehydes, aryl β-keto esters and aryl trifluoromethyl ketones. Rates are measured by monitoring the decrease in NADPH fluorescence at 460 nm with time across a range of substrate concentrations for each member of each carbonyl compound class. The resulting v 0 versus [S] data are subjected to least-squares hyperbolic fitting to the Michaelis-Menton equation. Hammett plots of log(V max) versus σ X yield the following Hammett parameters: (i) for p -substituted aldehydes, ρ = 0.99 ± 0.10, ρ = 0.40 ± 0.09; two domains observed, (ii) for p -substituted β-keto esters ρ = 1.02 ± 0.31, and (iii) for p -substituted aryl trifluoromethyl ketones ρ = -0.97 ± 0.12. The positive sign of ρ indicated for the first two compound classes suggests that the hydride transfer from the nicotinamide cofactor is at least partially rate-limiting, whereas the negative sign of ρ for the aryl trifluoromethyl ketone class suggests that dehydration of the ketone hydrate may be rate-limiting for this compound class. Consistent with this notion, examination of the 13 C NMR spectra for the set of p -substituted aryl trifluo romethyl ketones in 2percent aqueous DMSO reveals significant formation of the hydrate (gem -diol) for this compound family, with compounds bearing the more electron-withdrawing groups showing greater degrees of hydration. This work also presents the first examples of the CaADH-mediated reduction of aryl trifluoromethyl ketones, and chiral HPLC analysis indicates that the parent compound α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone is enzymatically reduced in 99percent ee and 95percent yield, providing the (S)-stereoisomer, suggesting yet another compound class for which this enzyme displays high enantioselectivity.
