RT Journal Article T1 Transition metal-free controlled synthesis of bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]ethyl-decorated heterocycles A1 Almendros Requena, Pedro A1 Yanai, Hikaru A1 Hoshikawa, Shoki A1 Aragoncillo Abanades, Cristina A1 Lázaro Milla, Carlos A1 Toledano-Pinedo, Mireia A1 Matsumoto, Takashi A1 Alcaide Alañón, Benito AB 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.
