Synthesis of α-CF3 Amides via Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation of 2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene

Abstract

Amide compounds are important organic compounds, which play an important role in biomedical chemistry, materials science, life science, and other fields. The synthesis of α-CF3 amides, especially compounds containing 3-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepine-2-one, has long been a challenge due to the tensile properties and instability of the rings. Here, we report an example of palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of CF3-containing olefin to form α-CF3 acrylamide. By controlling the ligands, we can get different amide compounds as products. This method has good substrate adaptability and functional group tolerance.
