Abstrakt
A rhodium-catalyzed transannulation via ring-opening of N-(per)fluoroalkyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles followed by cycloaddition with different nitriles, enol ethers, isocyanates and silyl ketene acetals under microwave heating provided a highly efficient route to previously unreported N-(per) fluoroalkyl-substituted imidazoles, pyrroles, imidazolones and pyrrolones, respectively. These reactions were found to be applicable to the synthesis of a variety of 5-membered heterocycles bearing different (per) fluoroalkyl substituents aswell as both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups attached to the heterocyclic core.
