Abstract:
N‐Trifluoromethyl azoles are valuable targets in medicinal chemistry, but their synthesis is challenging. Classical preparation of N‐CF 3 azoles relies on the functional group interconversions but suffers from tedious N‐pre‐functionalization and unfriendly agents. Introduction of the CF 3 onto the nitrogen of heterocycles provides a direct route to such motifs, but the N‐trifluoromethylation remains underdeveloped. Reported here is an alternative and scalable cyclization strategy based on NCF 3 ‐containing synthons for constructing N‐CF 3 azoles. The approach involves the N‐trifluoromethylation of nitriles followed by a [3+2] cyclization between resulting N‐CF 3 nitrilium derivatives and 1,3‐dipoles. PhICF 3 Cl was an effective CF 3 source for the transformation. As a result, a generic platform is established to divergently synthesize N‐trifluoromethylated tetrazoles, imidazoles, and 1,2,3‐triazoles by using sodium azide, activated methylene isocyanides, and diazo compounds as dipoles.
