Fluoroalkyl-substituted cyclopropane derivatives: Synthesis and physicochemical properties

A series of all 12 cis- and trans-cyclopropanecarboxylic acids and cyclopropylamines bearing CH2F, CHF2, and CF3 substituents were synthesized by different methods on a multigram scale. Dissociation constants (pKa) and log P values were measured for the o

An efficient and safe method for the multigram synthesis of trans -2-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropylamine

trans-2-(Trifluoromethyl)cyclopropylamine was prepared on a multigram scale from readily accessible 4,4,4-trifluorobut-2-enoic acid in five steps. The key step was a high-yielding cyclopropane ring formation from 4,4,4-trifluorobut-2- enoic acid methoxymethyl amide under Corey-Chaykovsky reaction conditions.

Regioselectivity in the Ring Opening of 2-Alkylcyclopropylmethyl Radicals: the Effect of Electronegative Substituents

The regioselectivity of the ring-opening of the trans-2-alkylcyclopropylmethyl radical A to give the primary alkyl radicals B, or the secondary alkyl radicals C, has been investigated, where the groups R and/or CXY carry electronegative substituents.All these reactions gave principally the secondary alkyl radicals C, whereas, in the absence of electronegative substituents, ring-opening occurs in favour of the primary alkyl radicals B.This regioselectivity is interpreted in terms of the frontier orbital interactions which are involved.
