New Reagents for Fluorination: Umemoto Reagent IV and NFBB
TCI offers an electrophilic trifluoromethylating agent, Umemoto Reagent IV [T4082] and an electrophilic fluorinating agent, NFBB [F1345], developed by Umemoto et al. Umemoto Reagent IV exhibits higher reactivity than conventional trifluoromethylating agents such as Umemoto Reagent I and II due to the electronic effects of two trifluoromethoxy groups. In addition, Umemoto Reagent IV is a stable solid, easy to handle in the atmosphere and has low hygroscopicity. NFBB is sterically protected by a bulky tert-butyl group and designed to suppress degradation by strong bases such as organolithium species. The sulfonimide anion generated in the reaction system acts as a deprotonating agent so that the amount of base required to fluorinate active methylene compounds can be reduced to a catalytic amount.
Reagent for the Synthesis of gem-Disubstituted Cyclopropanes
Cyclopropane-1,1-diboronic acid bis(pinacol) ester [C3706] can be utilized in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with aryl bromides to synthesize tertiary arylcyclopropylboronic esters. When aryl moiety is a phenyl group, the tertiary arylcyclopropylboronic esters can be converted to arylcyclopropyltrifluoroborate salts with potassium hydrogenfluoride, and then converted to gem-disubstituted cyclopropanes by the subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.
TCI Practical Example: Oxidation Reaction Using Triphenylantimony as a Catalyst
We are proud to present the air oxidation of furoin to furil catalyzed by triphenylantimony [T0476].
TCI Practical Example: Buchwald-Hartwig Amination Using Pd2(dba)3 and tBu3P·HBF4
TCI is proud to introduce the synthesis of 4-methoxytriphenylamine via Buchwald-Hartwig amination of 4-chloroanisole and diphenylamine by using Pd2(dba)3 [T2184] and tBu3P·HBF4 [T2584] as catalysts.
