Abstract

Herein, inorganic base K3PO4 promoted divergent synthesis of CF3-substituted allenes, cyclopentenes, alkynes, and fluorinated enynes via regioselective nucleophilic addition of carbon nucleophiles to 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3-enynes was developed. With the choice of different carbon nucleophiles, various fluorinated compounds could be obtained under K3PO4/DMF reaction system. When malononitriles were used as nucleophiles, CF3-substituted allenes, cyclopentenes, and alkynes could be obtained, respectively. By using 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds as nucleophiles, ring-monofluorinated 4H-pyrans could be prepared, and 1,1-difluoro-1,3-enynes could be furnished with the participation of diethyl malonate. Moreover, these five kinds of fluorinated allenes, alkenes, and enynes are valuable building blocks.
