Abstract
A straightforward and efficient strategy for the construction of tertiary and secondary α-aryl acrylamido carboxylic acids is reported. This N-acrylation protocol of unprotected amino acids is achieved by triple C-F bond cleavage of (trifluoromethyl)alkenes. This method features mild conditions, is operationally simple, is free of transition metals and racemization, can be used on a gram scale, and is compatible with various functional moieties. Mechanistic studies indicate that oxygen atom exchange happens among H2O, NaOH, and amino acids, and the oxygen atom of the amide moiety of the product is incorporated by the ipso-defluorooxylation of (trifluoromethyl)alkene.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
