Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Cyclopropanes via Sequential Kharasch–Dehalogenation Reactions
2012
A two-step process for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted cyclopropanes is described. Halothane, an anesthetic agent, is added to olefins in a ruthenium-catalyzed Kharasch reaction. The resulting 1,3-dihalides are converted into cyclopropanes by dehalogenation with magnesium. This procedure represents an alternative to metal-catalyzed cyclopropanations involving trifluoromethyl diazomethane.
