Abstract
A concise strategy for the divergent synthesis of α‐fluoroamides and α‐aminoacyl fluorides is developed via multiple bond‐cleavage processes of 2‐bromo‐2,2‐difluoro alcohols in the presence of amines. The transformation proceeds under mild conditions, displays a broad substrate scope, and features operational simplicity. Mechanistic studies, supported by density functional theory calculations, suggest the involvement of a putative gem‐difluoroepoxide intermediate that triggers a cascade of atom recombination events.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (ASC) is the leading primary journal in organic, organometallic, and applied chemistry.
The high impact of ASC can be attributed to the unique focus of the journal, which publishes exciting new results from academic and industrial labs on efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly organic synthesis. While homogeneous, heterogeneous, organic, and enzyme catalysis are key technologies to achieve green synthesis, significant contributions to the same goal by synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry, and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling, separation science, and process development are also featured in ASC. The Aims and Scope can be found in the Notice to Authors or on the first page of the table of contents in every issue.
