Synthesis of CHF2-substituted 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes by photochemical decomposition of CHF2-pyrazolines

Abstract

A practical synthesis of CHF₂-substituted 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes was developed for the first time. The key step was photochemical decomposition of CHF₂-substituted pyrazolines. This protocol has the advantages of simple operation, and mild conditions, as well as excellent functional group tolerance, giving the desired products in moderate to excellent yields.
