Direct heptafluoroisopropylation of arylboronic acids via hexafluoropropene (HFP)†
Abstract
A novel and straightforward strategy for heptafluoroisopropylation of arylboronic acids at room temperature has been developed. This method, directly using commercial available hexafluoropropene (HFP) as the starting material, provides a new way to synthesize a variety of synthetically useful heptafluoroisopropylated arenes.
