A Radical Access to CF3- and SF5-Containing Dihydrobenzofurans and Indolines
2017
The synthesis of 3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans, 3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)indolines, 3-[(pentafluorosulfanyl)methyl]-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans, and 3-[(pentafluorosulfanyl)methyl]indolines using an intramolecular reductive radical cyclization from readily available acyclic precursors is reported. The CF 3 - and SF 5 -containing heterocycles are obtained in moderate to excellent yields. Notably, this transformation represents the first example of an aryl radical addition to a SF 5 -containing alkene. Finally, the possibility of oxidation of some of the products generated to benzofurans and indoles is shown.
