MORE HIGHLY FLUORINATED GROUPS
6.1. INTRODUCTION
Although most fl uorine - containing biologically active pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds make use of the substituents that have been discussed in the previous three chapters, there are also numerous examples of more highly fl uorinated bioactive compounds, the effi cacy of which should encourage more examples to be sought.
For example, the 1,2,2 trifl uoroethyl group has found use in the fun-gicide tetraconezole ( 6 - 1 ), whereas the 1,1,2,2 - tetrafl uoroethyl group is encountered in the benzoylphenylurea insecticide hexafl umuron ( 6 - 2 ), which is used to control locust and grasshoppers in Sahalian grasslands (Fig. 6.1 ).
Likewise, the pentafl uoroethyl substituent plays an important role in the extraordinarily potent antiprogestin properties of compound 6 - 3 , as well as in the insecticide candidate 6 - 4 (Fig. 6.2 ).
A variety of fl uorinated C 3 substituents have also been found to be useful in facilitating bioactivity, including the 2,2,3,3,3 - pentafl uoro-propyl group - containing herbicide fl upoxam ( 6 - 5 ) and the 1,1,2,3,3,3 - hexafl uoropropyl group - containing insecticide lufenuron ( 6 - 6 ) (Fig. 6.3 ). The hexafl uoroisopropyl group is also found in the pyrethroid

insecticide acrinathrin ( 6 - 7 ) and in the fl uorinated amino acid hexa-fl uoroleucine ( 6 - 8 ) (Fig. 6.4 ).
Multifl uorinated aromatics also play a signifi cant role within bioac-tive compounds. Difl uoroaromatics have already been discussed in Chapter 3 . Bioactive tetrafl uorobenzene derivatives are exemplifi ed by the pyrethroid insecticides transfl uthrin ( 6 - 9 ) and tefl uthrin ( 6 - 10 ), whereas there are numerous pentafl uorobenzene compounds that have proved of interest as potential insecticides, anticancer or antiglaucoma drugs ( 6 - 11 , 6 - 12 , and 6 - 13 ) (Fig. 6.5 ).
6.2. THE 1,1,2 - AND 1,2,2 - TRIFLUOROETHYL GROUPS
The common 2,2,2 - trifl uoroethyl group was discussed in Chapter 5 . Less commonly encountered is the 1,1,2 - trifl uoroethyl group, the ether

Some explicit examples of 1,1,2 - trifl uoroethyl ethers and sulfi des are provided in Scheme 6.1 .
The CHF carbon is chiral in 1,2,2 - trifl uoroethyl compounds. Thus, the fl uorines of the CF 2 H group are diastereotopic and appear as an AB system, and each of the fl uorines can potentially couple with

different coupling constants to the vicinal H and F. In what is an oft observed phenomenon, the vicinal three - bond F – F coupling in the sulfi des is always much greater than that in the ethers. The examples in Scheme 6.2 provide typical data for such compounds.
The proton and carbon NMR spectra of both of these trifl uoroethyl systems are marked by the usual large two - bond F – H coupling con-stants, with the 1,2,2 - trifl uoro system exhibiting individual coupling constants from the A and B fl uorines to the CHF 2 carbon. Data for the proton and carbon spectra of both types of trifl uoroethyl compounds are provided in Scheme 6.3 .
6.3. THE 1,1,2,2 - TETRAFLUOROETHYL AND 2,2,3,3 - TETRAFLUOROPROPYL GROUPS
The 1,1,2,2 - tetrafl uoroethyl group, usually appearing as either the ether or the sulfi de, is quite commonly encountered, probably because of its

relative ease of synthesis from nucleophilic additions to tetrafl uoro-ethylene. The fl uorine NMR spectra of such isolated tetrafl uoroethyl groups are characterized (Scheme 6.4 ) by the usual large (54 Hz) two - bond H – F coupling constant.
When the tetrafl uoroethyl group is attached to a carbon bearing hydrogen atoms, the three - bond H – F coupling constants are generally > 10 Hz. 2,2,3,3 - Tetrafl uoropropanol itself is quite inexpensive and building blocks derived from it are quite common. Its fl uorine NMR spectrum is given in Fig. 6.6 as a good example of such a system. In this case, the 13.2 - Hz three - bond F – H coupling constant is best observed in the proton spectrum (see Figure 6.7 ).
The fl uorine NMR exhibits two signals, with the CF 2 H appearing at δ − 139.3 (d, 2 J HF = 53 Hz) and the CF 2 group appearing at − 127.5 ppm as a multiplet.
Proton and carbon NMR spectra of compounds containing the 1,1,2,2 - tetrafl uoroethyl and the 2,2,3,3 - tetrafl uoropropyl groups are exemplifi ed in Scheme 6.5 , and the proton and carbon NMR spectra of 2,2,3,3 - tetrafl uoropropanol are provided as a specifi c example in Figs. 6.7 and 6.8 .

6.4. THE 1,2,2,2 - TETRAFLUOROETHYL GROUP
The commercial anesthetic desfl urane is a prime example of a bioactive compound containing a 1,2,2,2 - tetrafl uoroethyl group. In general, this group is not commonly encountered, and when it is seen, it is usually as an ether or a sulfi de (Scheme 6.6 ).

6.5. THE PENTAFLUOROETHYL GROUP
The two signals of an ethyl group, a triplet for the methyl and a quartet for the CH 2 group, integrating 3 : 2, are perhaps the most recognizable in proton NMR. In contrast, the fl uorine signals deriving from an iso-lated pentafl uoroethyl group exhibit little vicinal coupling, and they appear effectively as two singlets. Thus, a pentafl uoroethyl ketone will exhibit two singlet signals, as is exemplifi ed by the fl uorine NMR spec-trum of 3,3,4,4,4 - pentafl uoro - 2 - butanone in Fig. 6.9 . As can be seen, the signals deriving from the CF 3 and the CF 2 groups, appearing at − 82.6 and − 123.9 ppm, respectively, are singlets in this 282 - MHz spectrum.
Similar effectively uncoupled signals are observed for the ester, ethyl pentafl uoropropionate (Scheme 6.8 ), which exhibits singlets at − 123 and − 84 ppm.
186 MORE HIGHLY FLUORINATED GROUPS
In contrast, in the case of an alkane terminated by a CF 3 CF 2 group, the CF 3 group exhibits no apparent coupling, but its CF 2 group experi-ences strong three - bond H – F coupling with the hydrogens on the vicinal carbon as is seen for the typical compounds in Scheme 6.8 . The chem-ical shift for the CF 2 group will be in the range of − 120 ppm, with the usual shielding impact of branching being seen. The chemical shift for the CF 3 group will be approximately − 85 ppm. As seen from the example above and those below, the presence of the adjacent carbonyl group does not have much effect upon the chemical shifts of the pentafl uo-roethyl group.
An example of a C 2 F 5 substituent bound to a carbon bearing one or more hydrogens is exemplifi ed by the fl uorine spectrum of 3,3,4,4,4 - pentafl uorobutene (Fig. 6.10 ). This spectrum exhibits a singlet for the CF 3 group at − 86.0 ppm, but a doublet at − 118.2 ppm with three - bond H – F coupling of 7.9 Hz.
The proton spectrum of this C 2 F 5 - ethylene, similar to that of the CF 3 - ethylene described in Chapter 2 , is second order in nature (Fig. 6.11 a ).
Additional proton and carbon chemical shift and coupling constant data for compounds bearing a C 2 F 5 group are provided in Scheme 6.9 .
The carbon spectrum of 3,3,4,4,4 - pentafl uoro - 2 - butanone provides a good example of the carbon signals of an isolated C 2 F 5 group (Fig. 6.11 b).

The observed chemical shift and coupling constant data for this compound are δ 191.8 ( 2 J FC = 27.5 Hz, C = O), 118.1 ( 1 J FC = 286, 2 J FC = 34.2 Hz, CF 3 ), 107.1 ( 1 J FC = 266, 2 J FC = 38.1 Hz, CF 2 ), and 24.6 (CH 3 ).
6.5.1. Pentafl uoroethyl Carbinols
Pentafl uoroethyl carbinols are prepared via the reaction of C 2 F 5 organo-metallics with ketones and aldehydes. The vicinal OH group has little effect upon the chemical shift of the CF 2 fl uorines, but in most of these systems, the carbinol carbon will be chiral. Thus, the two CF 2 fl uorines will be diastereotopic and will appear as an AB system in the fl uorine NMR. Two examples of such systems, plus a related lactone, are pro-vided in Scheme 6.10 , with the carbon NMR data being given in Scheme 6.11 . An example of a pentafl uoroethyl alkyne is also given. A CF 2 group bound to an acetylenic carbon is at an unusually low fi eld for a carbon - bound CF 2 group.
6.5.2. Pentafl uoroethyl Ethers and Sulfi des

6.5.3. Pentafl uoroethyl Organometallics
There are also a number of C 2 F 5 organometallics for which 19 F spectra are available (Scheme 6.14 ). It is strange that the CF 2 group that is bound to the metal is not deshielded, whereas CF 3 groups bound to such metals are much deshielded (Chapter 5 , Section 5.3.4 ).
6.6. THE 2,2,3,3,3 - PENTAFLUOROPROPYL GROUP
Fluorine spectra of compounds containing the 2,2,3,3,3 - pentafl uoro-propyl group resemble very much those of C 2 F 5 - alkanes, which were briefl y discussed in the previous section, with the CF 2 group appearing as a triplet, coupling strongly to the vicinal CH 2 group. An example of

The proton and carbon NMR spectra of 2,2,3,3,3 - pentafl uoropropyl-amine are given in Figs. 6.13 and 6.14 . In its proton spectrum, one sees the triplet at 3.22 ppm due to the CH 2 group, with its three - bond F – H coupling constant of 15.5 Hz.

Ethers and sulfi des bearing the CF 3 CHFCF 2 - group are readily pre-pared by addition of the alcohol or thiol to hexafl uoropropene. Some data from their fl uorine spectra are given in Scheme 6.16 , along with proton data. With the CHF carbon being chiral, the CF 2 group should appear as an AB quartet.

known as fl uorous chemistry. For the most part, both the fl uorine spectra and the carbon spectra of the fl uorinated regions of such com-pounds are not particularly useful for their characterization, mainly because of the similar fl uorine and carbon chemical shifts for most of the CF 2 carbons, which gives rise to overlap in the fl uorine spectrum, and when combined with the multiple large F – C coupling constants make that region of the carbon NMR spectrum almost impossible to decipher.
Therefore, most organic chemists who are carrying out syntheses of fl uorous reagents that have incorporated such groups as the n - C 6 F 13 CH 2 CH 2 - or the n - C 8 F 17 CH 2 CH 2 - groups will simply use the CH 2 CH 2 proton and carbon NMR signals of the ethylenic group that bridges the fl uorinated segment to the nonfl uorinated segment in char-acterizing their compounds. Scheme 6.22 provides such typical proton NMR data along with the very diffi cult to obtain fl uorine and carbon NMR data for the tridecafl uoro - n - octyl alcohol precursor that is often used in the synthesis of fl uorous compounds. Some data for the analo-gous system with a carboxylic acid function and with only a single CH 2 linkage are provided for comparison purposes.

PERFLUOROALKANES 197
6.13. 1 - HYDRO - PERFLUOROALKANES
When a primary CF 2 H group is attached to any perfl uoroalkyl group, the respective chemical shifts of the CF 2 H fl uorine, hydrogen, and carbon are not greatly affected by the length of the perfl uoro group; thus, for R F CF 2 H, the chemical shifts for the CF 2 H groups for R F = CF 3 , C 2 F 5 , and n - C 3 F 7 are − 142.0, − 139.0, and − 137.6 ppm, respectively. Vicinal couplings, both F – F and F – H, can be quite small in such systems. The largest couplings appear to be four - bond F – F couplings, where the zigzag staggered conformations bring the fl uorines on every third carbon into close proximity (see Scheme 6.23 ). These larger cou-plings are probably largely the result of through - space coupling (See Chapter 2 ). 1
6.14. PERFLUOROALKANES
The chemical shifts of secondary CF 2 groups within perfl uorocarbons decrease modestly (less shielding) as the neighboring fl uorocarbon groups become more branched, i.e., change from CF 3 to CF 2 R F to CF(R F ) 2 , as exemplifi ed by the examples in Scheme 6.24 .
As indicated earlier, vicinal F – F coupling constants in perfl uoroal-kanes are often very small, virtually negligible in comparison to longer - range couplings, as is the case for perfl uoro - n - pentane above where the four - bond F – F coupling is 10.2 Hz.

198 MORE HIGHLY FLUORINATED GROUPS
Trifl uoromethyl groups in unbranched perfl uoroalkanes are the most deshielded, with chemical shifts around − 81 ppm, whereas branching near the CF 3 will move the signal to lower fi eld, as can be seen Scheme 6.25 .
Scheme 6.26 provides chemical shifts for all of the fl uorines in a representative group of perfl uorocarbons. The various environments exhibited should allow one to estimate the chemical shift for almost any fl uorine in a perfl uorocarbon system. The fl uorine chemical shifts of four - , fi ve - and six - membered ring perfl uoroalicyclics are quite con-sistently in the range of − 133 to − 134 ppm, but as usual, fl uorines on a cyclopropane ring appear at a much higher fi eld than those of other fl uorinated alicyclics, perfl uorocyclopropane having a chemical shift of − 159 ppm.
Examining perfl uoro - 2 - methylpentane more carefully, the chemical shifts of the fl uorines of individual carbons are given in Scheme 6.27 , with the actual spectrum provided in Fig. 6.18 a,b.
Substantial long - range (four - bond) couplings with the CF 3 groups can be observed, whereas little three - bond coupling is evident.

The fl uorine substituent at the 2 - position of a trifl uorovinyl group is much more highly shielded than the other two fl uorines, and its presence gives rise to an enhanced “ split ” of the diastereotopic fl uorines at the 1 - position and enhanced coupling constants, both geminal and vicinal.

Trifl uorovinyl groups have characteristic chemical shifts and cou-pling constants that are exemplifi ed in Scheme 6.29 .
A typical 19 F NMR spectrum of a compound with a trifl uorovinyl group is given in Fig. 6.20 . This compound is the chemical precursor of the drug known as EF5, which is used in positron emission tomography imaging to detect hypoxic tissue.
POLYFLUOROALKENES 203
The fl uorine NMR data for the EF5 precursor are δ − 105.9 (dd, 2 J FF = 82, 3 J FF( cis ) = 33 Hz), − 122.3 (ddt, 2 J FF = 81, 3 J FF( trans ) = 114, 4 J HF = 3.7 Hz), and − 179.7 (ddt, 3 J FF( trans ) = 114, 3 J FF( cis ) = 32, 3 J HF = 21.7 Hz).
6.17.1.1. Trifl uorovinyl Halides and Ethers. Trifl uorovinyl halides are quite commonly encountered reagents, while trifl uorovinyl ethers have increased interest as novel monomers. 3 There is a nice recent paper dealing with the NMR spectra of some trifl uorovinyl ethers. 4 Fluorine data for a couple of examples of halides, ethers, and thioethers are given in Scheme 6.30 .
6.17.1.2. Carbon and Proton NMR Spectra of Trifl uorovinyl Compounds. Scheme 6.31 provides the carbon and proton NMR data for a few trifl uorovinyl compounds.
A specifi c example of the C – F regions of a carbon spectrum of a trifl uorovinyl compound, that of the EF5 precursor, is provided in Fig. 6.21 a,b. Note that the carbon bearing one fl uorine at 127.56 ppm is a doublet of doublets of doublets (eight peaks), with a large (236 Hz) one - bond F – C coupling constant and then into two smaller doublets with two - bond F – C coupling constants of 52 and 15.7 Hz. (One of the eight peaks is obscured by the intense signal deriving from one of the imidazole C – H carbons.)
The CF 2 carbon at 154.16 ppm is essentially split into a triplet of doublets with an even larger ( ∼ 281 Hz) one - bond F – C coupling con-stant, although the coupling constants for the Z and the E fl uorines are slightly different, along with the doublet deriving from the smaller

45.6 - Hz two - bond F – C coupling. The four - peak central part of the “ triplet ” is typical for systems such as this derives from the two diaste-reotopic fl uorines having slightly different couplings to the same carbon.
6.17.2. Perfl uoroalkenes
The chemical shifts for all fl uorine s in two representative examples of perfl uoro - 1 - alkenes are given in Scheme 6.32 . F – F coupling constants

within the olefi nic fragment of perfl uoro - 1 - hexene are provided and are of “ normal ” magnitude. Of particular interest is the relatively large 28 - Hz coupling between the allylic fl uorines (d) and the cis - alkene fl uorine (a), which can be largely attributed to through - space, “ contact ” coupling.
6.18. POLYFLUORINATED AROMATICS
6.18.1. 2,3,5,6 - Tetrafl uorobenzene Compounds
Because of long - range F – F coupling constants that contribute to the second - order nature of the system, the fl uorine signals of 2,3,5,6 - tetrafl uoroaryl groups generally consist of complex multiplets. The chemical shifts of a few examples of such systems are given in Scheme 6.33 .
6.18.2. The Pentafl uorophenyl Group
Fluorine NMR data for a few representative examples of pentafl uoro-phenyl compounds are given in Table 6.2 , along with typical F – F cou-pling constants. 5
It can be seen that electron - donating groups generally shield, and electron - withdrawing substituents generally deshield all of the fl uorine atoms, but that the ortho and para fl uorines are affected most greatly, and the shielding substituents exert the greatest infl uence.

6.19.1. Polyfl uoropyridines
Most of the multifl uoro - substituted pyridines were prepared more than 30 years ago in the Birmingham fl uorine group using CoF 3 technology. Scheme 6.34 provides the multitude of fl uorine and proton chemical shift data that were accumulated at that time. It will be seen that, all other things being equal, fl uorines at the 2 - position are most deshielded and fl uorines at the 3 - position are the most shielded. Scheme 6.35 pro-vides a few examples of substituted tetrafl uoropyridines.
6.19.2. Polyfl uorofurans
Again, the family of di - , tri - , and tetrafl uorofurans was prepared via CoF 3 chemistry, and their fl uorine and proton spectra reported, as given in Scheme 6.36 . All things being equal, fl uorines at the 2 - position are more deshielded than those at the 3 - position.
6.19.3. Polyfl uorothiophenes
It appears that only tetrafl uorothiophene has been reported with its fl uorine NMR spectrum (Scheme 6.37 ). Interestingly, for this hetero-cycle, fl uorine at the 3 - position appears to be slightly more deshielded than that at the 2 - position. That was also the case for the monofl uoro-thiophenes, as reported in Chapter 3 .
6.19.4. Polyfl uoropyrimidines
Fluorine NMR data for 2,5 - difl uoro - , 2,4,5 - trifl uoro - , and 2,4,5,6 - tetrafl uoropyrimidines are given in Scheme 6.38 .
