Abstract

Abstract The cross-coupling reaction of allyltrifluorosilanes with aryl halides or aryl triflates promoted by a fluoride salt takes place at the α-carbon of the allyltrifluorosilanes in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl 2 [Ph 2 P (CH 2) n PPh 2](n= 2, 3), giving allylic arenes with high regioselectivity.
