摘要

An efficient one-pot 1,4-dicarbofunctionalization of 4-fluoroaryl Grignard or lithium reagents with 2,2-disubstituted malononitriles is described. The reaction proceeds by sequential transnitrilation and S(N)A(r) reactions. Commercial Grignard solutions, Grignard reagents prepared in situ by halogen/magnesium exchange with i-PrMgC1, or aryllithium reagents prepared in situ by bromine/lithium exchange with n-BuLi are compatible with the reaction conditions. Moreover, 2,2-disubstituted malononitriles of diverse structures are accommodated. The reaction provides a unique approach to 1,4-dicarbofunctionalization of activated arenes in a tandem, one-pot transformation.
