Abstract

A tetrabutylammonium bromide catalyzed trifluoromethylation/cyclization reaction of o-aralkynylaryl aldehydes with trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane and cesium fluoride has been developed. A variety of 1-alkylidene-3-(trifluoromethyl)phthalans were prepared in moderate to excellent yields by tandem nucleophilic addition and cyclization.

Key words

heterocycles - polycycles - cyclizations - alkylations - aldehydes - alkynes

12 1-Alkylidine-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofurans 2; General Procedure A ﬂame-dried Schlenk tube equipped with a magnetic stirring bar was charged with o-aralkynylaryl aldehyde 1 (0.3 mmol), TMSCF₃ (0.9 mmol), CsF (0.6 mmol), TBAB (0.06 mmol), and anhyd toluene (2 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 1 h. H₂O (2 equiv) was added and the mixture was stirred at 80 °C for 6 h. The mixture was then poured into EtOAc and extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (Na₂SO₄), and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was puriﬁed by ﬂash column chromatography (hexane–EtOAc).
