Palladium‐Catalyzed Regioselective Synthesis of 2‐SF5‐Indenols and Further Derivatizations
Lucas Popek, Murat Cihan, Nicolas Blanchard, Vincent Bizet- General Medicine
A palladium‐catalyzed synthesis of 2‐SF5‐indenols has been developed by reacting commercially available boronic acid derivatives and readily accessible SF5‐alkynes. The present methodology is fully regioselective thanks to the intrinsic polarization of SF5‐alkynes. A selection of downstream functionalizations has been performed to highlight the versatility of 2‐SF5‐indenols and indenones as platforms for the design of more complex SF5‐containing molecules.
