Abstract
Nucleophilic opening of the epoxide ring in 6-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (1) with ethenylmagnesium bromide was employed for the preparation of 2-ethenylcyclopentan-1-ol (2). Radical addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides 3 to alcohol 2 afforded (polyfluoroiodoalkyl)cyclopentanols 4, which were deiodinated with tributylstannane to (polyfluoroalkyl)cyclopentanols 5, followed by dehydration with Nafion-H to the target (polyfluoroalkyl)cyclopentenes 6, which are potential intermediates for fluorous chemistry. Attempts to synthesize (polyfluoroalkyl)cyclopentadienes or bis(polyfluoroalkyl)cyclopentadienes failed due to the exclusive formation of unexpected side product, polyfluoroiodoalkanol 7, in the course of radical addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides 3 to ethenylcyclopentenol (8) or diethenylcyclopentanediol (9), respectively.
