Abstract

Perfluoroalkenylzinc reagents [CF2= CFZnX (l),(2)-CF, CF= CFZnX (2), and (E)-CFSCF= CFZnX (3); X= perfluoroalkenyl group or I (Br or I for l)] coupled with aryl iodides in the presence of Pd (PPh3) 4 (1-3 mol%) to give the corresponding arylalkenes. A series of substituted a,@,@-trifluorostyrenes were prepared in good yields. This method provides ready availability of these fluorinated styrenes, which were previously obtained with ...
