Abstract

In accordance with the concept of regioexhaustive functionalization, both 3-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine and 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine were converted each time into the three possible carboxylic acids. 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, 2-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, 2-iodo-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, and 4-iodo-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine were selectively deprotonated and subsequently carboxylated at the resp. 3-positions. Finally, the N-pivaloyl-protected 2-amino-3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine was deprotonated at the 4-position and the intermediate trapped with iodine and benzaldehyde. [on SciFinder (R)]

Reactive intermediate

In chemistry, a reactive intermediate or an intermediate is a short-lived, high-energy, highly reactive molecule. When generated in a chemical reaction, it will quickly convert into a more stable molecule. Only in exceptional cases can these compounds be isolated and stored, e.g. low temperatures, matrix isolation. When their existence is indicated, reactive intermediates can help explain how a chemical reaction takes place.

Hofmann rearrangement

The Hofmann rearrangement (Hofmann degradation) is the organic reaction of a primary amide to a primary amine with one less carbon atom. The reaction involves oxidation of the nitrogen followed by rearrangement of the carbonyl and nitrogen to give an isocyanate intermediate. The reaction can form a wide range of products, including alkyl and aryl amines. The reaction is named after its discoverer, August Wilhelm von Hofmann, and should not be confused with the Hofmann elimination, another name reaction for which he is eponymous.

Silylation

Silylation is the introduction of one or more (usually) substituted silyl groups (R3Si) to a molecule. Silylations are core methods for production of organosilicon chemistry. Silanization involves similar methods but usually refers to attachment of silyl groups to solids. Alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines, thiols, and phosphates can be silylated. The process involves the replacement of a proton or an anion with a trialkylsilyl group, typically trimethylsilyl (-SiMe3), as illustrated by the synthesis of a trimethylsilyl ethers from alcohols and trimethylsilyl chloride (Me = CH3): Generally a base is employed to absorb the HCl coproduct.
