Synthesis of Hindered and Functionalized 1-CF3 Substituted Olefins via a Carbolithiation−Elimination−Metalation Cascade

Addition of organolithium reagents to trifluoromethyl enol ethers 1a − d and thio enol ethers 2a provided stereoselectively the corresponding trisubstituted fluoroalkenes 3a − d in 70−90% yields. The products could themselves react with organolithium reagents and undergo a vinyl metalation providing...

Summary:Addition of organolithium reagents to trifluoromethyl enol ethers 1a − d and thio enol ethers 2a provided stereoselectively the corresponding trisubstituted fluoroalkenes 3a − d in 70−90% yields. The products could themselves react with organolithium reagents and undergo a vinyl metalation providing, after trapping with an electrophile, tetrasubstituted olefins in excellent yields and with stereoselectivity. This method can be applied to other fluoroalkyl enol ethers (Rf = C2F5). The product, tetrasubstituted olefin, can be obtained directly from enol ether with 2 equiv of reagent through a carbolithiation−elimination−metalation cascade.
