The novel vinylogous aldol-lactonization cascade of alkylidene oxindole with trifluoromethyl ketones is presented. The reaction, catalyzed by a bifunctional tertiary amine, provides an efficient application of the vinylogous reactivity of alkylidene oxindoles for the preparation of enantioenriched trifluoromethylated α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones.

A simple and straightforward approach to the synthesis of trifluoromethyl and difluoromethyl ketones from widely available carboxylic acids is disclosed. The transformation utilizes an acyloxyphosphonium ion as the active electrophile, conveniently generated in situ from the carboxylic acid substrate by using commodity chemicals. The utility of the reaction system is exemplified by its chemoselectivity, with tolerance to a variety of important functional groups. The late-stage functionalization of carboxylic acid active pharmaceutical ingredients and pharmaceutically relevant compounds is also discussed.

Alkenes, ethers, and alcohols account for a significant percentage of bulk reagents available to the chemistry community. The petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries each consume gigagrams of these materials as fuels and solvents each year. However, the utilization of such materials as building blocks for the construction of complex small molecules is limited by the necessity of prefunctionalization to achieve chemoselective reactivity. Herein, we report the implementation of efficient, sustainable, diaryl ketone hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) catalysis to activate native C-H bonds for multicomponent dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes. The ability to forge new carbon-carbon bonds between reagents typically viewed as commodity solvents provides a new, more atom-economic outlook for organic synthesis. Through detailed experimental and computational investigation, the critical effect of hydrogen bonding on the reactivity of this transformation was uncovered.
