Octafluorocyclopentene (OFCP) has found utility as a polyelectrophile in substitution cascades that form complex macrocyclic compounds. The Harran group synthesis of macrocyclic polypeptides depends on OFCP as a linker, combining with four different nucleophilic units of a polypeptide. We report a computational investigation of the origins of OFCP reactivity and a rationale for controlled mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasubstitution of fluoride ions by heteroatomic nucleophiles. The roles of inductive, negative hyperconjugative, and resonance electron-donation by fluoride substituents are explored for the reaction of OFCP, less-fluorinated analogues, and common electrophilic alkenes with several different nucleophiles.
