Highly [beta]-Regioselective Friedel-Crafts Aminoalkylation of Pyrroles with Cyclic Perfluoroalkylated Imines
A Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation reaction was studied between various pyrroles and [alpha]-polyfluoroalkylated cyclic imines that were activated by Lewis acids. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions and provided a high yielding synthesis of [alpha]-CF3-substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines...

Summary: | A Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation reaction was studied between various pyrroles and [alpha]-polyfluoroalkylated cyclic imines that were activated by Lewis acids. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions and provided a high yielding synthesis of [alpha]-CF3-substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines as well as seven-membered analogues that contained a pyrrole ring. The unpredictably high [beta]-selectivity for the aminoalkylation of both 1H-pyrrole and N-substituted pyrrole was observed as a result of a thermodynamically-controlled electrophilic substitution reaction. The computational data are in full agreement with the experimental results, which confirmed the observed regioselectivity as a result of the lower energy of the [beta]-substituted pyrroles that contain [alpha]-trifluoromethyl-substituted pyrrolidine, piperidine, and azepane rings.
