A novel method for achieving regiodivergent C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(2))-H polyfluoroalkoxylation in the o-methyl benzaldehyde framework by altering the transient directing group is disclosed. The selectivity is proposed to be governed by the size of the palladacycle generated from Pd-chelation with different transient directing groups. This approach provides a new avenue for controlled regiodivergent C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(2))-H functionalization reactions.
A novel method for achieving regiodivergent C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(2))-H polyfluoroalkoxylation in the o-methyl benzaldehyde framework by altering the transient directing group is disclosed. Using palladium as the catalyst and [F+] reagents as bystanding oxidants, various regioisomeric polyfluoroalkoxylated benzaldehydes were prepared. It is proposed that the selectivity is governed by the size of the palladacycle which is generated from Pd-chelation with different transient directing groups and helps in harnessing palladium with the benzyl C(sp(3))-H or C(sp(2))-H bonds of o-methyl benzaldehydes. These findings provide an avenue for controlled regiodivergent C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(2))-H functionalization reactions.
