Palladium-catalysed arylation and alkenylation of cis-trifluoroprop-1-enyl methyl ether. A novel entry into trifluoromethylated compounds
Abstract
The palladium-catalysed reaction of cis-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl methyl ether 2 with a variety of aryl and alkenyl halides or triflates occurred regiospecifically to afford the α-arylated and alkenylated products in good yield.
