Use of Trifluoroacetaldehyde Ethyl Hemiacetal in a Simple and Practical Synthesis of β-Hydroxy-β-trifluoromethylated Ketones Kazumasa Funabiki Department of Materials Science and Technology, Faculty of Engineering, Gifu University, 1-1, Yanagido, Gifu 501-1193, Japan

The reaction of trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal or hydrate with an equimolar amount of enamines or imines, derived from various methyl ketones with aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic substituents, via the in-situ generation of trifluoroacetaldehyde, affording high yields of the corresponding β-hydroxy-β-trifluoromethyl ketones is described. Extended studies using chiral auxiliaries or catalyst are also discussed.

Introduction α-Trifluoromethylated alcohols are some of the most valuable compounds in organofluorine synthesis, because they can serve as the useful core system of liquid crystals (/) or antidepressants (2) imparted by a trifluoromethyl group Most syntheses of these compounds utilize the α-trifluoromethylated building blocks such as trifluoroacetaldehyde (CF CHO), its derivatives (5), and ottrifluoromethyl ketones as the starting substrates. Among them, CF CHO is especially the most attractive compound for the construction of octrifluoromethylated alcohol units. Therefore, it widely employed in Aldol (4% Mukaiyama (5), Ene (6), Friedel-Crafts (7), Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions (#), 3

etc. However, just before employing CF CHO, it should be generated from its hemiacetal or hydrate using an excess amount of cone, sulfuric acid at a high reaction temperature (9). Moreover, careful treatment of the aldehyde is required due to its troublesome properties such as being a gas at room temperature, highly reactive leading to self-polymerization, and extremely hygroscopic (10) (Scheme 1). 3

Other various aromatic enamines as well as the thienyl one easily participated in the reaction to give the corresponding P-hydroxy-P-trifluoromethyl ketone 3 in good to excellent yields (entries 2-7). However, the reaction of 4-nitropheyl substituted enamine 2e with la gave the only a 13% yield of the product 3e, probably due to the low solubility of 2e. Using toluene as the solvent improved the yield of 3e (entry 5). The reaction of the hemiacetal la with the mixture of


345

aliphatic enamines, such as 2i and 4-(3-methybut-l-en-2-yl)morpholine (29 : 71) gave 3h in 25% yield, and there is no detectable amount of the product, which reacts with the 4-(3-methybut-2-en-2-yl)morpholine, in the crude reaction mixture (entry 8). Trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate (75 wt%) also reacted with the enamine 2a to produce 3a in 84% yield (entry 9).


Reaction with Various Imines The results of the reaction of trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal l a with imines 4 derivedfromvarious methyl ketones are summarized in Table 2 (12).

Similar to the reaction of enamines 2, the reaction between the hemiacetal l a and various imines 4a-g with aromatic substituants including the thienyl group proceeded smoothly at reflux temperature to provide the corresponding β-

hydroxy-P-trifluoromethyl ketone 3a-e,g,i in good to excellent yields (entries 17). Of much significance is that the reaction of hemiacetal l a with aliphatic imines 4h-j carrying /-propyl, cyclohexyl, and /-butyl group, produced the products 3h-k in high yields (entries 8-10). For the imines with an /-propyl or chexyl group as R , although there are two kinds of tautomeric enamines in equilibrium, the reaction of the imines 4h,i with CF CHO proceeded with complete regioselectivity at the sterically less hindered α-position of the kinetic enamines to furnish the corresponding p-hydroxy-p-trifluoromethyl aliphatic ketones 3hj in good yields (Figure 1). No products 3h%j' derived from the more highly substituted enamines were observed in the reaction mixture based on the F NMR measurement. 1

Reaction of Trifluoroacetaldehyde Ethyl Hemiacetal with Chiral Imines or Enamines


Reaction with Various Chiral Imines Next, we carried out the reaction between the trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal l a and imines 7 carrying chiral auxiliaries (13). The results of the asymmetric reactions using chiral imines 7 under various conditions are summarized in Table 4. When the hemiacetal l a was allowed to react with an equimolar amount of the chiral imine 7a, derivedfromacetophenone and (R)-lphenylethylamine, in hexane at room temperature for 7 h, the aldol product 3a was obtained in 62% yield with a good enantiomer ratio (S:R = 80.1:19.9) (entry 1). The absolute configuration of the major isomer of 3a was assigned as S by comparison of the reported value of the optical rotation (14). Polarity of the solvent affects both the yields and enantiomer ratios of 3a. Less polar solvents, such as hexane and toluene (entries 1-2), are more suitable for the reaction than polar ones, such as THF, dichloromethane, and acetonitrile (entries 3-5). Among the examined chiral auxiliaries, the (i?)-l-(lnaphthyl)ethyl group was the most effective for the reaction to give 3a in 66% yield with the best enantioselectivity (entry 8). The reaction at 0 °C gave the product with a higher selectivity (entry 9). Lowering the reaction temperature to -15 °C did not have a significant effect on increasing the enantioselectivity (entry 10). The results of the reaction between the polyfluoroalkylaldehyde hemiacetal or hydrate 1 and various chiral imines 2 under the optimized conditions are summarized in Table 5. Aromatic, aliphatic, and heteroaromatic-substituted imines except for the 2-methylphenyl one participated nicely in the reaction with the trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal l a or hydrate l b to afford the corresponding P-hydroxy-P-trifluoromethyl ketones 3 in good yields with good enantioselectivities (entries 1-6, 8-11). However, the reaction of the imine 2i containing the 2-methylphenyl group did not smoothly proceed with the only a 14% yield of the product 3f along with a low ee (entry 7). The reason for the decrease in both the yield and ee is unclear at present. Additionally, the present protocol is nicely applicable to the difluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal lc or pentafluoropropionaldehyde hydrate Id, providing the good yields of the products 5a and 6a (entries 12 and 13). Compared with the trifluroacetladehyde ethyl hemiacetal, the use of difluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal lc resulted in a reduction of the ee (entry 12). Furthermore, in the case of the trifluoromethylated or pentafluoroethylated products 3 or 6 with the aromatic group, the ee values of these products could be improved by a simple recrystallization method (15). However, this method was not effective for difluoromethylated ketone 4 due to its lower melting point compared to those of the trifluoromethylated ones.

Proline-catalyzed Direct Aldol Reaction with Ketones Finally, a first novel catalytic in-situ generation of CF CHO from its hemiacetal as well as its successive direct asymmetric aldol reaction with some ketones was examined (17). The reaction of trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal l a in the presence of a catalytic amount (30 mol%) of (I)-proline with acetone afforded P-hydroxy-P-trifluoromethyl ketone 31 with good enantioselectively. As summarized in Table 7, a survey of the reaction media revealed that various solvents could be used for this reaction. However, the employment of DMSO resulted in a significant loss of enantioselectivity (entry 1). The reaction in THF or hexane was sluggish and produced low yields of 31 (entries 2 and 7). The best enatioselectivity of 31 was obtained when benzene was used as the solvent but with a decreased yield (entry 6). Importantly, 3


352 acetone can be used as the solvent as well as a ketone donor with excellent yield and good enantioselectivity (entry 3). Both trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate lb and pentafluoropropionaldehyde hydrate Id participated well in the (I)-proline-catalyzed direct aldol reaction to afford 31 or 6b in good yields with good enantioselectivities (entries 8 and 9).

Scheme 3. In summary, we have determined that the novel stoichiometric in-situ generation of trifluoroacetaldehyde as well as its simultaneous asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation reaction with enamines or imines, produced the corresponding P-hydroxy-P-trifluoromethyl ketones in good yields with high enantioselectivities. The major advantages of these processes are the use of only a stoichiometric amount of enamines or imines, good yields as well as high enantioselectivities, and no step required for the generation of trifluoroacetaldehyde. For the reaction of chiral imines, the recovery of the chiral auxiliary is quite easy. Furthermore, our new protocol can be nicely extended to the direct aldol reaction via the catalytic in-situ generation of trifluoroacetaldehyde from its hemiacetal using a catalytic amount of (X)-proline under extremely mild conditions.
