ABSTRACT: A tunable method for the direct trifluoromethylthiolation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids was developed to afford trifluoromethylthiolated ketones or alkenes. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions and shows an excellent functional group tolerance.

T

he trifluoromethylthio (F3CS) group exhibits unique properties, such as high lipophilicity, and it has a strong electron-withdrawing effect. This moiety is therefore an important functional group, which is employed in the fields of biomedicine and agrochemistry.1 In recent years, the development of efficient methods for the incorporation of the trifluoromethylthio group into organic molecules has attracted increasing attention. Research in this area has been reported by Shen,2 Qing,3 Hu,4 and others.5 The α-SCF3-substituted ketones are important structural elements in materials science and chemical biology. The biological activities of many medicine molecules can be changed through the α-SCF3substituted ketone groups that they contain (Figure 1). Various

recent work of Qing et al.10 Herein, we report on the trifluoromethylthiolation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to afford trifluoromethylthiolated ketones (Scheme 1b). This reaction system is also applicable to cinnamic acids, affording trifluoromethylthiolated alkenes. We commenced with the optimization of the reaction conditions by selecting 3-phenylpropiolic acid (1a) and AgSCF3 as model substrates (Table 1). With Cu(OAc)2 (2 equiv) as the mediator and K2S2O8 (3 equiv) as the oxidant, it was found that the use of CH3CN as the solvent afforded the desired product 2a in 7% yield at 80 °C under an argon atmosphere (entry 1). Next, other solvents such as DCE, toluene/H2O (v/v = 1:1), and CH3CN/H2O (v/v = 1:1) were examined (entries 2−4). It was found that toluene/H2O was the optimal medium for the transformation; the yield increased to 39%. The use of other copper salts was then also considered,

efficient synthetic methods have been reported, such as the trifluoromethylthiolation of α-haloketones,6 β-ketoesters,7 silyl enol ethers,8 simple ketones,9 and cinnamic acids10 with different SCF3 sources (Scheme 1a). Although many significant contributions have been achieved in this field, the decarboxylative trifluoromethylthiolation of propiolic acids to afford trifluoromethylthiolated ketones has not been reported yet. Decarboxylative coupling reactions are important methods for the construction of chemical bonds and have attracted great attention. We are specifically interested in the use of decarboxylation reactions to synthesize trifluoromethylthiolated ketones of α,βunsaturated carboxylic acids.

with a strong electron-donating substituent such as paramethoxy propiolic acid was used in this reaction system, the acetenyl trifluoromethyl thioether (2i) was obtained. Unfortunately, alkylpropiolic acid was not suitable this reaction system. Once we had identified that the cinnamic acids were suitable substrates for this reaction system, we aimed to further expand the substrate scope to α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids (Scheme 3). Pleasingly, various vinyl trifluoromethyl thioethers could be conveniently synthesized through decarboxylative trifluoromethylthiolation of cinnamic acids with AgSCF3 under the typical reaction conditions established (AgSCF3 (0.4 mmol, 2 equiv), CuSO4·5H2O (0.4 mmol, 2 equiv), Na2S2O8 (0.6 mmol, 3 equiv), and toluene/H2O (v/v = 1:1, 2 mL) at 60 °C for 8 h under an air atmosphere). It was found that various cinnamic acids could smoothly undergo decarboxylative trifluoromethylthiolation to generate the desired vinyl trifluoromethyl thioether products in modest yields. Electron-donating substituents such as Me (4a, 4h, 4j), OMe (4b, 4i, and 4k), OEt (4c), OBn (4d), and OAc (4e) were well-tolerated in the current reaction system. In most cases, the E/Z selectivity was good. Furthermore, the halide groups such as F (4f) and Cl (4g) were also suitable for use in the reaction, possibly enabling further functionalization at these positions. The cinnamic acids bearing ortho- and meta-substituents worked well to afford the corresponding vinyl trifluoromethyl thioether products in 55− 62% yields (4h−4k). The reactions of disubstituted and trisubstituted cinnamic acids afforded the desired products in 50−60% yields under the above conditions (4l−4n). When cinnamic acid was employed in the transformation, the corresponding product was obtained in 73% yield. Furthermore, the reaction could also tolerate sterically hindered cinnamic acids, giving the desired products in 63% and 62% yields (4p and 4q). The 9-fluorenyl-substituted acrylic acid gave a 49% yield of the product (4r). A scale-up experiment was successfully carried out (0.324 g, 2 mmol) under the optimal conditions (Scheme 4), and it afforded 4a with a relatively high yield of 54%. To elucidate a plausible reaction mechanism, the following experiment was carried out (Scheme 5). Under the optimal conditions, when the radical-trapping reagent TEMPO (2,2,6,6tetramethyl-1-oxylpiperidine) was added, the reaction was

CuI, Cu, CuCl2, and CuSO4·5H2O. To our delight, we found that CuSO4·5H2O was the optimal mediator; an increased yield of 54% was achieved (entry 8). Results of the control experiment proved that CuSO4·5H2O and K2S2O8 were essential (entries 9 and 10). Furthermore, the use of Na2S2O8 and (NH4)2S2O8 as oxidants was also considered. When Na2S2O8 was employed, the yield of 2a was improved to 69% (entry 11). Finally, changing the quantity of Na2S2O8 and the reaction temperature also led to similar yields of 2a (55−67%, entries 12−16). Furthermore, we changed the ratio of the mixed solvents, and that also led to similar yields of the desired product (53−60%, entries 17−19). When the amount of CuSO4·5H2O could be reduced to 10 mol %, the yield of the product decreased obviously (entry 20). With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, we explored the scope of propiolic acids for the preparation of α-SCF3substituted ketones. As summarized in Scheme 2, all substrates examined here bearing both electron-withdrawing and electrondonating groups in the aromatic rings afforded the desired products in moderate to good yields (42−69%). Pleasingly, propiolic acids with strong electron-withdrawing substituents were also suitable substrates; they afforded the corresponding α-SCF3-substituted ketones in 42−53% yields (2e−2g). The reactions of disubstituted propiolic acids afforded the desired product in 58% yield (2h). Surprisingly, when propiolic acid 500

On the basis of the above experimental results and previous reports,3c,10,11 we propose a plausible mechanism as shown in Scheme 7. Initially, the oxidation of AgSCF3 by Na2S2O8 affords Scheme 7. Proposed Reaction Mechanism

the Ag(II)SCF3 species, which then triggers the F3CS radical B after the following transfer of a single electron course. Meanwhile, Cu(II) carboxylates A1 and A2 are generated from the incorporation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid and copper sulfate. Addition of the F3CS radical at the α-position of the double bond in cupric cinnamate would give radicals C1 and C2, and the reaction then proceeds via the elimination of carbon dioxide and Cu(I) to generate the products of trifluoromethylthiolated alkenes or ketones. In summary, we report a convenient copper(II)-mediated decarboxylative trifluoromethylthiolation reaction of α,βunsaturated carboxylic acids with AgSCF3. This method provides a useful and practical strategy for the synthesis of trifluoromethylthiolated ketones or alkenes. The reaction can tolerate many important functional groups, and it provides a new pathway for the construction of C−SCF3 bonds. A preliminary mechanistic investigation suggests the involvement of a radical species. The oxygen atom of the carbonyl of product 2 was derived from water.

This result suggested that the reaction may proceed via a radical pathway. Molecular oxygen is essential for the formation of α-SCF3substituted ketones.
