2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy Aromatic Heterocycles: Hydrolytically Stable Alternatives to Heteroaryl Chlorides
2019
Herein we describe the 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy group as an alternative leaving group for hydrolytically unstable heteroaryl chlorides. This group provides improved shelf stability by years while maintaining reactivity toward nucleophiles in SNAr reactions. A highlighted trifluoroethyl ether was shown to be tolerant to aqueous Suzuki conditions, permitting sequential Suzuki/SNAr processes inaccessible to the heterocyclic chlorides. The strategic use of trifluoroethyl ethers enables storage of otherwise unstable heterocyclic chlorides and limits costly decomposition.
