Copper-catalyzed and additive free decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic iodides

A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative trifluoromethylation of (hetero)aromatic iodides has been developed. Importantly, this new copper-catalyzed reaction operates in the absence of any ligands and metal additives. The protocol shows good functional group tolerance and is compatible with heteroaromatic systems. The reaction proved scalable to a 15 mmol scale with increased yield. Finally, late-stage installation of the trifluoromethyl functionality afforded the N-trifluoroacetamide variant of the antidepressant agent, Prozac, demonstrating the applicability of the developed method.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A biaryl banquet! Biphenyls with four ortho substituents, heteroaromatic compounds, iodinated biaryls, and medium rings containing biaryls are all readily synthesized by organocuprate oxidation. The utility of this new methodology is illustrated by the efficient synthesis of the medium-ring core of sanguiin H-5 (see scheme).
