In this study, a new class of difluoromethylated diarylmethanes was synthesized through Fe(OTf)(3)-catalyzed reaction, demonstrating the relationship between substrate structure and catalyst behavior.
The Fe(OTf)(3)-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of 2,2-difluoro-1-arylethyl phosphates with electron-rich (hetero)arenes afforded difluoromethylated diarylmethanes. Control experiments showed that Fe(OTf)(3) behaves as the Lewis acid, and that the phosphate leaving group and o- or p-alkoxy substituents on the substrates are necessary for the Fe(OTf)(3)-catalyzed reaction to proceed under mild conditions.
