Abstract
An efficient strategy for preparing the novel O-difluoroalkylhydroxylamine fluorinated functional group, coined FON, is reported. This analogue of medicinally important β-phenethyl ether scaffolds in uniting gem-difluoro and N–O moieties is synthesized in one step via chemo- and regioselectivity metal-free hydroetherification-type additions. As shown, this unique mode of reactivity is realized for a diverse substrate scope and applied to gram-scale synthesis and site-selective deuterium incorporation. Lastly, a mechanistic understanding with implications in Brønsted acid catalysis is offered.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
