Abstract
A catalytic method for the introduction of pharmaceutically meaningful fluorinated propionic acid side chains into aromatic compounds is presented. In the presence of rhodium catalyst [RhCp*Cl2]2, various arylboronic acids are efficiently coupled with an easy-to-access diazoester reagent to give perfluorinated derivatives of phenylpropionic acids, including top-selling profen drugs. The key advantage of this approach is that the pharmacophore is introduced as a whole and is compatible with various functionalities and drug discovery.
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.
