Abstract:
A one-pot regioselective two C-C-bond-forming dearomatization of pyridines and quinolines is disclosed. Two 3,4-betaines are identified for the first time as very useful organic synthons in heterocyclic chemistry. Furthermore, the chemical reactivity of the prepared trifluoromethyl ketones, a new type of push-pull enones, has been explored to develop straightforward methods for their functionalization. This protocol represents a breakthrough in the dearomatization of heteroaromatics as both the selective saturation and functionalization of heteroaromatics are achieved in high efficiency by the attachment of two substituents, including the valuable trifluoromethyl ketone group.
