Hexafluoroisopropanol is typically considered as an unreactive solvent and not as a reagent in organic synthesis. Herein, we report on a mild and efficient photochem. reaction of aryl diazoacetates with hexafluoroisopropanol that enables, under stoichiometric reaction conditions, the synthesis of fluorinated ethers in excellent yield. Mechanistic studies indicate there is a preorganization of hexafluoroisopropanol and the diazoalkane acts as an unreactive hydrogen-bonding complex. Only after photoexcitation does this complex undergo a protonation-substitution reaction to the reaction product. Investigations on the applicability of this photochem. transformation show that a broad variety of acidic alcs. can be subjected to this transformation and thus demonstrate the feasibility of this concept for O-H functionalization reactions (54 examples, up to 98% yield).
