Outline of Final Research Achievements

Fluorine-substituted transition metal carbene complexes are promising intermediates for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds. Thus, the preparation and utilization of the complexes were investigated. 1,1-Difluoroallenes were treated with aldehydes in the presence of a gold(I) catalyst. [3 + 2] Cycloaddition proceeded and the expected gold(I) carbene complexes bearing a tetrahydrofuran ring were generated. beta-Hydrogen migration and subsequent dehydrofluorination of the complexes facilitated the regioselective synthesis of 2-fluorofurans. The utilization of free difluorocarbene was also investigated. (Regioselective) syntheses of 1,1-difluoroalkenes and 2-fluorothiophenes by the reaction with thiocarbonyl compounds were developed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

フッ素置換遷移金属カルベン錯体の性質には、学術的な観点から興味が持たれていた。しかし実際には調製例自体が少なく、性質は未知であった。本研究課題により、ジフルオロアレンの付加環化でフッ素置換環状金(I)カルベン錯体が調製できること、また、発生した錯体はβ-水素移動を起こすことが明らかになった。また、併せて見出した遊離ジフルオロカルベンの反応性も、これまでに知見が少なく、今後これを配位子として利用する際に重要な情報となる。我々が合成法を確立したフルオロフランやフルオロチオフェン、ジフルオロアルケンは、いずれも生理活性化合物や合成中間体として有用なものであり、今後医農薬開発等の領域に貢献できる。
