Pd-Catalyzed Arylperfluoroalkylation of Unactivated Olefins for the Synthesis of Heterocycles

An
efficient and highly practical palladium-catalyzed arylperfluoroalkylation
of unactivated olefins is presented here. A variety of perfluoroalkylated
heterocyclic derivatives can be obtained in high regioselectivity.
The reaction proceeds mildly without the electronic activation of
the aryl group and features high generality, low-cost fluoroalkylated
sources and good functional-group compatibility.
