Palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative allylic C–H arylation of alkenes with polyfluorobenzenes†
Abstract
An aerobic oxidative cross-coupling reaction of alkenes with polyfluorobenzenes, through palladium-catalyzed allylic C–H activation, is reported. This attractive route provides a new way to forge allylic C–C bonds of valuable products, in good yields, with high regioselectivity.
