Abstract

AbstractWe report the first systematic evaluation of the reaction of trifluoromethyl diazomethane (2,2,2-trifluorodiazoethane, CF3CHN2) with drug-like molecules. We found our previous copper-catalyzed transformation of carboxylic acids to the corresponding N-trifluoro­ethylimides with CF3CHN2 and acetonitrile is well-suited for the late-stage modification of drug and drug-like acids. A procedure that enables the use of solid nitriles and nitriles with high boiling points as viable substrates is also disclosed.
