CF(3)‐Containing para‐Quinone Methides for Organic Synthesis

A new family of CF(3)‐containing para‐quinone methides (CF(3)‐QMs) was systematically investigated for its suitability in organic synthesis. Addition of different nucleophiles gives access to target molecules with a benzylic CF(3)‐containing stereogenic center straightforwardly. The electrophilicity...

Sumario:A new family of CF(3)‐containing para‐quinone methides (CF(3)‐QMs) was systematically investigated for its suitability in organic synthesis. Addition of different nucleophiles gives access to target molecules with a benzylic CF(3)‐containing stereogenic center straightforwardly. The electrophilicity parameter E of the prototypical CF(3)‐QM 2,6‐di‐tert‐butyl‐4‐(2,2,2‐trifluoroethylidene)cyclohexa‐2,5‐dien‐1‐one was determined to be –11.68 according to the Mayr scale, making it one of the most reactive quinone methides known so far.
