This strategy first utilized the FeCp2-catalyzed functionalization of alkenes with trifluoromethyl radicals. The intermediate formed was captured by the ortho-iodobenzoate substrate, yielding intermediate 3, which then underwent the FeCl3-catalyzed elimination of ortho-iodobenzoate at a higher temperature to form an α,β-unsaturated intermediate. The subsequent intramolecular Michael reaction of the intermediate yielded the final target compound 4. In summary, a series of ATFQLs 4 were synthesized through the formation of two bonds (C═C and C-C).","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144087795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
