A highly chemoselective reaction between α,β-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones with azaarenes under metal-free conditions was carried out, affording a range of valuable azaarene-equipped CF3-tertiary alcohols in moderate to excellent yields (up to 95% yield) with good tolerance of functional groups, and their structures were confirmed by NMR, HRMS, and X-ray diffraction for validation. This method features simple reaction conditions (only solvent), high atom- and step-economy, and broad substrate scope. Moreover, most of the target products exhibited promising fungicidal activities, and compound 3al exhibited 91.65% fungicidal activity against R. solani, with an EC50 value of 0.18 mg/mL.

Introduction

Fluorine-containing molecules are pervasive motifs, and they exhibit broad applications in the field of medicines, agrochemicals, polymers, functional materials, and other chemical industries, owing to the specific characteristics of the fluorine atom, such as high electronegativity, high lipophilicity, good hydrophobicity, metabolic stability, and bioavailability.1 Particularly, trifluoromethyl-substituted tertiary alcohols are embedded in a range of pharmaceuticals.2,3 For example, compounds A and C are glucorticoid receptor agonists,4 compound B is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor of HIV,5 compound D is a sleep inducer,6 compound E is an anti-inflammatory reagent,7 and compound F is a cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor8 (Scheme 1). Therefore, the synthesis of these skeletons is highly attractive and a plethora of practical protocols for rapid assembly of CF3-substituted tertiary alcohols have been developed in recent years.

On the other hand, the direct functionalization of ubiquitous inert C–H bonds has been rapidly developed in past decades, owing to the advantages in terms of atom- and step-economy.9 In this regard, C(sp3)–H functionalization of azaarenes has emerged as a powerful method for the rapid assembly of functional N-heterocycle molecules, which are pervasive motifs found in a series of pharmaceuticals, natural products, and materials.10 However, C(sp3)–H functionalization of methylquinoline and its derivatives coupled with trifluoromethyl ketones to construct CF3-tertiary alcohols have been less explored, and Lewis acid is often required (Scheme 2a).11,12 Thus, further development of new efficient functional transformations from the point of more sustainable and environmental chemistry is extremely valuable.13

Scheme 2. Strategies for the Synthesis of the Azaarene-Equipped CF3-Tertiary Alcohols.

Scheme 2

In this context, with our ongoing interest in C–H activation and CF3-functionalization chemistry,14 we present a novel CF3-tertiary alcohol synthesis protocol of trifluoromethyl ketones with azaarenes under metal-free conditions, thus resulting in various ubiquitous CF3-tertiary alcohols, which are frequently found in pharmaceutical chemistry (Scheme 2b).2

Results and Discussion

To validate our hypothesis, we began our studies by employing β-(trifluoroacetyl)coumarin 1a and 2-methylquinoline 2a as model substrates to explore the reaction conditions, and the results are summarized in Table 1. Initially, a comprehensive screening of reaction solvents was carried out (entries 1–11). To our delight, all the cases such as DMF, DMSO, EtOH, acetone, EA, DCE, CH3CN, 1,4-dioxane, toluene, THF, and n-hexane were feasible to perform the titled conversion, as shown in Scheme 2, and the CH3CN solvent was identified as the best choice, affording anticipated product 3aa in 82% yield (entry 7). Further adjusting the reaction temperature, neither increase nor decrease had a positive effect (entries 12–13). Gratifyingly, it was found that the ratio of two substrates could affect the reaction performance dramatically (entries 14–15), improving the yield of 3aa to 93% when altering the ratio of 1a:2a to 1:2 (entry 15). Additionally, the potential 1,4-addition byproduct was not discovered during the whole optimization reaction conditions. Accordingly, the optimized reaction conditions were determined as follows: 1a (0.2 mmol), 2a (0.4 mmol), and CH3CN (2.0 mL) at 90 °C under an air atmosphere for 9 h.

With efficient protocols in hand, the scope with respect to the azaarenes was first examined. The results indicated that various azaarenes are well tolerated, and the reaction of azaarenes 2b-r with 1a underwent the envisioned pathways to deliver the CF3-tertiary alcohols 3ab-ar in 41–93% yields (Table 2). For instance, diversified functionalization of the 4-, 6-, 7-, and 8-positions of 2a with electron-donating groups (EDGs) such as methoxy (2e) and ethoxy (2f) and electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) such as fluoro (2g, 2k), chloro (2b, 2h), bromo (2c, 2i, 2l), and ester (2d, 2j) is tolerated with good yields. Moreover, methylquinoline-bearing methyl at C4 also proved to be feasible and afforded the anticipated CF3-tertiary alcohol product 3am in 46% yield. Notably, the established reaction conditions also led to anticipated product 3an when 1-methylisoquinoline (2n) was used as a coupling partner. After examining the tolerance of methylquinoline under the optimized conditions as shown in Table 1, we turned our attention on the various methyl N-heterocycles (2o–q) with 1a. To our delight, various methyl N-heterocycles such as quinoxaline (2o), quinazolinone (2p), and benzothiazole (2q) were reacted with 1a smoothly, which produced various 1-(β-coumarinyl)-1-(β-heterocyclyl)trifluoroethanols in moderate to good yields. Furthermore, 2-methylpyridine (2r) was found to participate in the established reaction, giving 3ar in 44% yield.

All reactions were performed with 1a (0.2 mmol) and 2a–r (0.4 mmol) in 2.0 mL CH3CN under an air atmosphere at 90 °C for 9 h; Isolated yields are given.

To further investigate the scope of this reaction, diversified trifluoromethyl ketones were evaluated (Table 3). Overall, a series of trifluoroacetylcoumarins or trifluoroacetylbenzene equipped with EDGs and EWGs are well tolerated, affording the anticipated trifluoromethyl tertiary alcohols 3ba–ma in 52–95% yields. Specifically, C6 sites with methyl (1b)-, fluoro (1c)-, chloro (1d)-, and bromo (1e)-modified CF3-coumarin ketones reacted smoothly with 2a, delivering desired products with moderate to excellent yields (67–95%). Particularly, a sensitive but versatile iodine group (1f) was also well compatible, which is often used in transition metal-catalyzed cross coupling transformations. Next, C7 and C8 sites with strong EDGs such as methoxy (1g, 1h) and ethoxy (1i) are well tolerated, giving rise to anticipated 3ga–ia in 83–88% yields. Notably, disubstituted substrates (1j) and (1k) were well compatible and delivered the corresponding adduct products in 84 and 89% yields, respectively. Meanwhile, the structure of 3ja was also determined by analogy on the basis of X-ray (CCDC 2179504). Gratifyingly, the fused-ring system 1l also reacted smoothly, generating tertiary alcohol product 3la in 89% yield. Finally, it should be mentioned that trifluoroacetophenone (1m) could be subjected as the electrophilic reagent to produce 3ma with moderate yield (52%) in an established metal-free system, which is quite different from previous reports that often rely on Lewis acid catalysis, such as iron salt, indium salt, and so on.11,12

All reactions were performed with 1b–m (0.2 mmol) and 2a (0.4 mmol) in 2.0 mL CH3CN under an air atmosphere at 90 °C for 9 h. Isolated yields are given.

To further showcase the potential utility of this newly established method, a larger-scale (3 mmol) experiment was carried out between 1k and 2a (Scheme 3), which delivered the desired product 3ka with comparable yield (1.43 g, 88% yield).

Scheme 3

Based on the abovementioned results and previous reports,11 a plausible reaction pathway for the conversion of trifluoromethyl ketone and azaarene to CF3-tertiary alcohols under metal-free conditions is outlined in Scheme 4. Initially, 2-methylquinoline 2a was converted to its enamine species G, and then, the enamide species G underwent nucleophilic addition to β-(trifluoroacetyl)coumarin 1a; further protonation could provide the expected azaarene-equipped CF3-tertiary alcohol 3aa.

To evaluate the biological activity of the newly prepared azaarene-equipped CF3-tertiary alcohols, preliminary antifungal activity against F. oxysporum, F. graminearum, P. nicotianae, F. moniliforme, and R. solani with target compounds 3aa–ma was performed based on the early reference,15 and the results are summarized in Figure 1. Overall, most of the desired CF3-tertiary alcohol products 3aa–ma showed fungicidal activities against the abovementioned five fungi. First, the inhibitor rate of the model product 3aa against F. oxysporum was 29.84% at 0.5 mg/mL. The inhibitor rate was improved to 44.32 and 45.11% when compounds 3aq and 3ao were used, respectively. Next, compounds 3aa–ma against F. graminearum, P. nicotianae, F. moniliforme, and R. solani were tested. Gratifyingly, the antifungal activity against R. solani was obviously better compared to other three fungi, with a moderate to good inhibitor rate. Particularly, compound 3al displayed good (91.65%) in vitro fungicidal activity, with the median effective concentration (EC50) value of 0.18 mg/mL.

Conclusions

In conclusion, we have developed a novel reaction for the synthesis of azaarene-equipped CF3-tertiary alcohols through addition of azaarenes to CF3-ketones under metal-free conditions. The azaarenes, including quinolones, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, quinazolinone, and benzothiazole, were used as coupling partners. The corresponding CF3-tertiary alcohol products were obtained in excellent yields (up to 95% yield) with high chemoselectivity (only 1,2-addition). Compared to previous reports, this established reaction features simple reaction conditions (only solvent), high atom- and step-economy, and broad substrate scope. Moreover, most of the synthesized compounds displayed promising fungicidal activities, and compound 3al exhibited 91.65% fungicidal activity against R. solani, with an EC50 value of 0.18 mg/mL. Further studies on the synthesis of novel CF3-tertiary alcohol scaffolds with green methods and their fungicidal activities are ongoing in our laboratories.

General Procedure for the Preparation of Azaarene-Equipped CF3-Tertiary Alcohols

A 10.0 mL vial equipped with a stirring bar was charged with trifluoromethyl ketones 1 (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), azaarenes 2 (0.4 mmol, 2.0 equiv), and CH3CN (2.0 mL). The vial was sealed with a Teflon screw cap, and the reaction mixture was heated at 90 °C for 9 h under pressure. After the reaction vessel was cooled to room temperature, the crude reaction mixture was filtered with celite and washed with DCM. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Then, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford the desired product 3.

General Procedure for the Evaluation of Fungicidal Activities

16.6 mg of the test sample was taken and dissolved in 0.66 mL of DMSO, and then, an aqueous solution containing 1% Tween 80 was added to it to make 5 mg/mL of the original drug. An appropriate amount of the test drug was pipetted into a conical flask under aseptic conditions and shaken well, and then the same amount was poured into three petri dishes with a diameter of 9 cm to make a 500 μg/mL drug-containing plate. In the abovementioned experiments, the treatment without the drug was set as a blank control, and each treatment was repeated three times. The cultured pathogenic bacteria were cut along the edge of the colony with a hole punch with a diameter of 6.5 mm under aseptic conditions, and the bacterial cake was inoculated in the center of the drug-containing plate with an inoculator. The culture dish was cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 25 °C. When the diameter of the control colony expanded to more than 6 cm, the colony diameter was measured by the cross method, the average value was taken, and the bacteriostatic rate was calculated at the end of the culture.
