One-pot synthesis of 1,3-enynes with a CF3 group on the terminal sp2 carbon by an oxidative Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction†
Abstract
Oxidative Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of (E)-trimethyl(3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)silane with arylacetylene were achieved using silver fluoride and a palladium catalyst, to afford high yields of various 1,3-enynes with a CF3 group on the terminal sp2 carbon. Silver fluoride promoted C–Si bond dissociation and oxidation of palladium, enabling catalytic use of palladium.
