Abstract
A new approach toward the synthesis of aryl triflones was achieved by the formal insertion of arynes into C–SO2CF3 bonds. This reaction proceeds through addition of CF3SO2-containing nucleophiles to the in situ generated arynes and subsequent intramolecular rearrangement.
Largely as a result of their unique biological properties, fluorinated compounds have found wide applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials.1 Compounds containing a trifluoromethanesulfonyl (triflyl, SO2CF3, Tf) group have received increasing interest due to the strong electron-withdrawing ability and high lipophilicity of SO2CF3.2 In particular, aryl triflones (ArSO2CF3) are frequently used as structural units in bioactive compounds,3 catalysts or ligands,4 and advanced functional materials.5 Consequently, a number of methods have been developed for the preparation of aryl triflones. The general methods include oxidation of aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides,6 trifluoromethylation of aryl sulfonyl fluorides or aryl sulfinates,7 and triflylation of aromatic compounds.8
In 2003, Lloyd-Jones and co-workers reported an unprecedented method for the preparation of aryl triflones by anionic thia-Fries rearrangement of aryl triflates (Scheme 1a).9a Since then, Lloyd-Jones' group and Butenschön's group have applied this rearrangement reaction to the synthesis of various o-hydroxyaryl triflones.4d,9 Recently, one of the present authors together with collaborators synthesized a series of heteroaryl triflones with the same methodology (Scheme 1b).10 In these anionic thia-Fries rearrangement reactions, the carbanion intermediates are generated via directed ortho-metalation with organolithium reagents, which are not tolerant of a range of functional groups. We wondered if it was possible to develop new methods to generate carbanions under mild conditions. Considering that the addition of a nucleophile to the aryne is a general method to generate a transient aryl anion intermediate,11 we reasoned that the reaction of a Tf-containing nucleophile and the aryne would give the Tf-containing carbanion intermediate, which may subsequently undergo anionic thia-Fries rearrangement to afford the corresponding aryl triflone. Interestingly, during the investigation of our idea, Li and co-workers reported a novel synthesis of o-aminoaryl triflones from N-triflylated anilines and arynes by adopting a similar strategy (Scheme 1c).12 As a continuation of our research interest in triflyl chemistry,10,13 we herein disclose the first example of preparation of o-alkylaryl triflones by the insertion of arynes into C–SO2CF3 bond through the tandem nucleophilic attack/intramolecular rearrangement (Scheme 1d).

The insertion of arynes into element–element bonds, such as carbon–carbon,14 carbon–heteroatom,15 and heteroatom–heteroatom16 bonds, provides a convenient method for direct access to 1,2-disubstituted aromatics. However, this method has rarely been applied to synthesize SO2CF3-containing aromatics.12,17 Thus, we chose 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyltriflate (1a) and 4-(((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)methyl)benzonitrile (2a) as the model substrates to explore the alkylation–triflylation of arynes for the preparation of o-alkylaryl triflones (Table 1). Initially, different fluoride sources, including CsF, KF, tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF), and KF/18-crown-6, were explored employing THF as the solvent (entries 1–4). Among them, KF/18-crown-6 proved to be the optimal fluoride source, leading to desired product 3a in 60% yield (entry 4). In the subsequent solvent screen, we found that the use of other solvents such as MeCN, toluene, dioxane, and Et2O diminished the yield of 3a (entries 5–8). Furthermore, increasing the temperature to 50 °C could slightly improve the yield to 75% (entry 9). However, when the reaction was performed at 70 °C, lower yield was obtained (entry 10). Additional surveys of the reaction stoichiometry (entries 11–14) revealed that the instance with 1a as the limiting reagent, 1.0 equivalent of 2a, 2.0 equivalents of KF, and 2.0 equivalents of 18-crown-6 afforded the highest yield of 3a (entry 12). Finally, increasing or reducing the concentration of this reaction had no positive effects on the yield (entries 15 and 16).

With the optimized reaction conditions (Table 1, entry 12) in hand, we then investigated the substrate scope of this reaction. The reaction of aryne precursor 1a with substituted benzyl triflones 2 carried out effectively to give the corresponding o-alkylaryl triflones 3a–k in moderate to excellent yields (Scheme 2). In general, the electron-withdrawing substituent on benzyl triflones was essential for this transformation. Benzyl triflones bearing fluoro (2e), chloro (2f), and bromo (2g) groups were suitable substrates, providing products 3e–g in good yields. The steric hindrance had no obvious effect on the yield, as benzyl triflone 2h proceeded well to afford 3h in high yield. Benzyl triflone 2i with a substituent into the meta position of the benzyl scaffold was also effective. In addition, disubstituted triflones 2j and 2k underwent this reaction smoothly. It was noteworthy that benzyl triflone 2b reacted with aryne precursors 1b and 1c to produce the corresponding insertion products 3l and 3m. The structure of product 3 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of compound 3a (see the ESI†).

To extend the scope of this protocol, we further examined other CF3SO2-containing substrates. In a similar manner, the reaction of 1a with β-triflyl esters 4a or 4b gave the desired products 5a and 5b, albeit in low yields (Scheme 3). Some unknown byproducts (<10% yield) were also obtained. In the cases of β-triflyl amides, the yields of the desired products were even lower. Furthermore, when β-triflyl ketones were subjected to the standard reaction conditions, the insertion of arynes into C–SO2CF3 bond did not happen. Instead, the insertion of arynes into C(active methylene)–C(ketone) bond was detected.

A plausible mechanism of this reaction is proposed in Scheme 4. The substrates 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryltriflate 1 and CF3SO2-containing nucleophile 2/4 were respectively converted to aryne A and carbanion B under the treatment of fluoride anion. Then, the addition of B to A afforded intermediate C, which underwent intramolecular migration of the triflyl group to give intermediate D. Finally, protonation of intermediate D gave the target product 3/5. It should be noted that the triflyl group plays an important role in this reaction. The analogous reaction of aryne precursors with substituted benzyl methanesulfones could not give the desired aryl methanesulfones.

In conclusion, we have developed a new access to aryl triflones starting from aryne precursors and CF3SO2-containing nucleophiles. This protocol proceeds through the tandem nucleophilic attack/intramolecular rearrangement to give the formal insertion products. Further exploration of this insertion reaction in the preparation of bioactive fluorinated compounds is in progress.
