RESUMO
Herein, we report a photomediated hydro- and deuterodecarboxylation of different primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxylic acids catalyzed by an organic pyrimidopteridine photoredox catalyst. The reaction was optimized by a statistical design of experiment (DoE). Under optimized reaction conditions, the conversion of commercially available nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in tablet form and on gram scale was realized. The scope of the application comprises primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic biologically active carboxylic acids. A deuterium incorporation of up to 95% by using D2O as inexpensive deuterium source was achieved. A sensitivity assessment as well as experiments aiding the elucidation of the reaction mechanism are discussed.

We report a sequential one-pot preparation of aromatic trifluoromethyl ketones starting from readily accessible aryl bromides and fluorosulfates, the latter easily prepared from the corresponding phenols. The methodology utilizes low pressure carbon monoxide generated ex situ from COgen to generate Weinreb amides as reactive intermediates that undergo monotrifluoromethylation affording the corresponding aromatic trifluoromethyl ketones (TFMKs) in good yields. The stoichiometric use of CO enables the possibility for accessing 13C-isotopically labeled TFMK by switching to the use of 13COgen.
