    Synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons decorated by fluorinated carbon acids/carbanions
    (Chemistry a European Journal, 2021) Hoshikawa, Shoki; Yanai, Hikaru; Martín‐Mejías, Irene; Lázaro Milla, Carlos; Aragoncillo Abanades, Cristina; Almendros Requena, Pedro; Matsumoto, Takashi
    The carboarylation reaction of biphenyl‐alkynes was successfully triggered by electrophilic attack of 1,1‐bis(triflyl)ethylene on the alkyne moiety to give polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) decorated by superacidic carbon acid functionality. Neutralisation of thus obtained acids with NaHCO3 yielded the corresponding sodium salts, which showed improved solubility in both aqueous and organic solvents.

    Transition metal-free controlled synthesis of bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]ethyl-decorated heterocycles
    (Organic Chemistry Frontiers, 2018) Almendros Requena, Pedro; Yanai, Hikaru; Hoshikawa, Shoki; Aragoncillo Abanades, Cristina; Lázaro Milla, Carlos; Toledano-Pinedo, Mireia; Matsumoto, Takashi; Alcaide Alañón, Benito
    Several heterocycles reacted with shelf-stable 2-(2-fluoropyridinium-1-yl)-1,1-bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] ethan-1-ide, a latent Tf2CvCH2 source, to give rise in a mild and controllable way to adducts via direct C–H bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]ethylation reactions. This metal- and irradiation-free protocol is convenient. Besides, the volatile side-product 2 fluoropyridine can be smoothly eliminated under vacuum, which facilitates purification. The substrate scope survey discloses that exquisite chemo- and regioselectivities are achieved in a variety of heterocyclic systems. Of particular interest are the late-stage structural modification of known pharmaceuticals, such as the marketed drugs Phenazone (Antipyrine) and Edaravone, and the development of a water soluble fluorescent dye.

    A catalyst-free bis(triflyl)ethylation/benzannulation reaction: rapid access to carbazole-based superacidic carbon acids from alkynols
    (Chemical Communications, 2020) Martín-Mejías, Irene; Aragoncillo Abanades, Cristina; Yanai, Hikaru; Hoshikawa, Shoki; Fujimoto, Yuuki; Matsumoto, Takashi; Almendros Requena, Pedro
    Carbazoles possessing Tf2CHCH2 groups were obtained by the reaction of 1-(indol-2-yl)but-3-yn-1-ols with in situ-generated Tf2CQCH2 through vicinal difunctionalisation of the alkyne moiety, where the vinyl-type carbocation intermediate was selectively attacked by the indole moiety and not by the carbanion moiety
