ABSTRACT. A general and practical method for copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of allyl phosphates with stable perfluoroalkylzinc reagents has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, high regio- and stereoselectivities, and provides a general, straightforward and useful access to allyl-perfluoroalkyl compounds. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that the allyl copper intermediate may be involved in the catalytic cycle.

Transition metal-catalyzed allylation reaction is one of the most frequently employed transformations in organic synthesis owing to the presence of allyl moieties in many biologically active compounds.1 Moreover, the synthetical usefulness of allylic motifs is ascribed to the fact that the carbon–carbon double bond can transfer to a variety of structures after simple manipulations.2 The scenery is clearly dominated by Pd catalysts, but during the last decade a range of other metals, especially late transition metals (Ru, Rh, Ir, et al.),3 made their way into the limelight. Inspired by the earlier studies on coppercatalyzed perfluoroalkylation of aryl boronic acids4 and aromatic halides,5 we hypothesized that the copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of allylic electrophilies with stable perfluoroalkylating reagents may be possible, and would benefit the preparation of allylated perfluoroalkyl compounds. Although TsujiTrost reaction involving addition of a nucleophile to (-allyl)palladium intermediate offers a powerful tool for preparation of allyl-substituted compounds, the reaction of highly electron-deficient perfluoroalkyl groups through the present strategy has rarely been studied.6 Consequently, developing new transition-metal-catalyzed allylative cross-coupling reactions for widespread applications is still highly desirable. Organic compounds bearing a perfluoroalkyl group (RF) have been adopted in a wide range of applications such as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials because of the unique properties of the fluorine atom.7 Over the past decade, considerable effort has been dedicated to the efficient introduction of perfluoroalkyl groups.8 The generation of allyl-RF bonds, however, remains synthetically challenging, particularly via transition metal catalysis. Matsubara described Pd-catalyzed coupling of allyl and alkenylstannanes with perfluoroalkyl iodides,9 whereas Cu-mediated nucleophilic 2 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

trifluoromethylation of allyl halides were also reported.10 In 2011, a copper-catalyzed Heck-type trifluoromethylation of terminal alkenes through allylic C-H bond activation was described by the group of Liu and Fu.11 Furthermore, Wang,12 Buchwald,13 Qing,14 and Sodeoka15 independently described the copper-catalyzed

trifluoromethylating reagents and involving the addition of CF3 radical to alkenes. Very recently, Sodeoka and co-workers realized a perfluoroalkylation of unactivated alkenes with acid anhydrides as the perfluoroalkyl source.16 Most of the above reactions are focus on radical trifluoromethylation reaction, the perfluoroalkylation (C2F5, C3F7, C4F9, C6F13 et al.) reaction via allyl-M-RF intermediate reductive elimination remains challenging so far17. Moreover, it is hard to find an efficient perfluoroalkylating reagent. Only CF3SiR3, C2F5SiR3, C3F7SiR3, Togni, and Umemoto reagents are commercially available, yet very expensive. As the cheap and safe perfluoroalkyl source, perfluoroalkyl halides18 and perfluoroalkanesulfonyl halides19 are prone to generate perfluoroalkyl radicals. In 2011, Daugulis and co-workers synthesized (RF)2Zn from 1H-perfluoroalkane by deprotonative metalation with TMP2Zn and used it in copper-catalyzed perfluoroalkylation of aromatic iodides.20 These reagents are confined to C(sp2)–RF bonds4-5 generation until now, which creates the interesting challenge of establishing new transition-metal-catalyzed perfluoroalkylation reactions to form C(sp3)–RF bonds (Scheme 1). Herein, we report a practical example of copper-catalyzed perfluoroalkylation of allyl phosphates with a broad range of substrates in moderate to high yields and with moderate to high stereo- and regioselectivities.

Scheme 1. Representative approaches to preparation of allyl-RF compounds. Initially, allyl phosphate (E)-1a and bis(perfluoroalkyl)zinc reagent 2c were chosen as model substrate to investigate this reaction (Table 1). To our delight, the treatment of (E)-1a and 2c in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuI/phen in the 1, 4-dioxane at 100 oC afforded 3ac in a 77% isolated yield with high regio- and stereoselectivity (linear/branched >99:1, E/Z =18:1; Table 1, entry 1). Encouraged by this result, a series of copper catalyst, such as CuSCN, Cu(OAc)2, Cu(acac)2, employed in these reactions were examined (Table 1, entries 2–4), and a higher yield was observed only with Cu(acac)2 (Table 1, entry 4, 80% yield). The nature of the solvent and ligand was critical to the reaction efficiency, and the use of ether solvent and L2 (4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) was found to provide the most efficient reaction, providing 3ac in 85% isolated yield (Table 1, entry 9). The control experiments revealed that a copper intermediate is involved in the reaction catalytic cycle (Table 1, entry 10). To our surprise, 52% isolated yield was obtained without ligand (Table 1, entry 11). DMPU dissociated from 2c, as a ligand, chelates with copper centre for stabilizing the catalytic intermediate.5b An attempt to decrease the loading of Cu(acac)2 to 5 mol% resulted in the yield dropping to 71% (Table 1, entry 12). Meanwhile, the choice of leaving group on the allyl substrate was crucial, the reaction of the corresponding acetate, halides or carbonate instead of the phosphate resulted in low yields or no formation of the desired product.

Reaction conditions (unless otherwise specified): (E)-1a (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 2c (1.0 equiv), solvent (2 mL). b All the yields were isolated yield. c 5 mol% CuI and 5 mol% phen were used. phen = 1,10phenanthroline, L1 = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, L2 =4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline. NR = no reaction. Under the optimum reaction conditions, a variety of allylated perfluoroalkyl compounds were generated by the present method and good to high yields and regioselectivities were obtained (Scheme 2). Generally, alkyl-substituted allyl phosphates bearing functional groups apart from the carbon-carbon double bond coupled with 2c effectively (3a-f). It is noteworthy that many versatile functional groups, including base- and nucleophile-sensitive moieties, such as silyl ether, acetate, phosphate, halide, and hydroxyl, showed good tolerance toward the reaction conditions, providing opportunities for further functionalization without the need of protection/deprotection sequences. Importantly, product 3d also revealed an excellent chemical selectivity at allyl phosphate over alkyl phosphate. However, it should be mentioned that the reaction efficiency highly depends on the nature of steric hindrance on substrates. Substrates with the bulky substituted groups near the reaction centre (carbon-carbon double bond) gave the desired products with a moderate yields (35-64%) and excellent regio- and stereoselectivities (3g-k). Furthermore, aromatic allyl phosphates were also suitable substrates, and reasonable yields with high stereoselectivities were still generated (3l-o). Notably, no branched product was observed with cinnamyl phosphates under this catalytic system.

To prove the generality of these observations and evaluate the scope and limitations of this protocol, a wide range of other perfluoroalkylzinc reagents 2 were employed in optimized reaction conditions (Scheme 3). In a similar manner to the perfluorobuthylation, allyl phosphates with versatile substituents gave moderate-to-good yields (49-77%), and high regio- and steroselectivities (4a-6d). It should be noted that yields and selectivities are interrelated with the length of RF. The reaction with C2, C3 homologous perfluoroalkylzinc reagents afforded desired products with higher yields and selectivities 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

than that of C6 perfluoroalkylzinc reagents. In the catalytic process, the rate of transmetallation of perfluoroalkyl group to copper centre from Zn(RF)2(DMPU)2 decreases due to the growing length of RF, which readily causes Schlenk equilibrium to Zn(RF)2(DMPU)2 and ZnX2.21 For allyl phosphates with steric hindrance such as 1g, 1l and 1m, the desired products were obtained with moderate yields and excellent regio- and stereoselectivities (4g-5n), thus suggestion that the steric effect still plays an important role in the yield and selectivity.

Standard condition: allyl phosphate (0.3 mmol, 1.0 equiv), 2 (1.0 equiv), Cu(acac)2 (10 mol%), L2 (10 mol%), dioxane (2 mL), 100 oC, 12 h. b The yields are of isolated products and the E/Z ratios were determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. L2 =4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline. Although the exact mechanism of the reaction is still not clear, on the basis of the results reported by others,5-6 a plausible mechanism is proposed and shown in Scheme 5. The sequence begins with formation of copper catalyst I by in situ generation. Then, copper intermediate II was generation by transmetalation of copper catalyst with zinc reagent 2. Subsequently, oxidative addition of (Z)- or (E)-1 with RFCu(I)Ln (II) would provide the key copper species (Z)- or (E)-III, respectively. Finally, the reductive elimination would lead to the desired allylated product (Z)- or (E)-3, and regenerate the Cu(I)Ln species (path A). Alternatively, a reversible pathway conduct to form allyl copper complex IV from III by rapid-conversion (path B), which would give the (E)-3 as the major product, thus resulting in stereochemical inversion in (Z)-substrates.

CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have demonstrated an efficient copper catalyst system for the perfluoroalkylation of phosphates with good-to-excellent yields and high regio- and stereoselectivities, which represents a useful, concise, and operationally simple method to the preparation of allyl-RF products. A preliminary study suggests that the reaction mechanism is complex and two main pathways leading to the desired allyl-RF products may be operating. Further studies to expand the substrate scope and their applications are now in progress in our laboratory.

The crude product was dissolved in DCM (15 mL), DIBAL-H (10.7 ml, 16 mmol) was added at RT. and the mixture was stirred for 2 h (TLC monitoring). The mixture was quenched with sat. NH4Cl solution and the aqueous phase was extracted with EA (2 × 30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to give the allyl alcohol which was used in the next step. The DMAP (244.4 mg, 2.0 mmol) were placed in a 20 mL two-necked reaction flask at 0 oC temperature, which was filled with nitrogen by using the standard Schlenk technique. DCM (10 mL) was then added to the flask, allyl alcohol (10 mmol) dissolved in DCM (5 mL) was added. Finally, Et3N (1.66 mL, 12 mmol) and diethyl phosphorochloridate (1.71 mL, 12 mmol) was added dropwise.
