Functional selectivity in Friedel–Crafts alkylations with allylic halides promoted by solid composite lead fluoride reagent

Abstract

The composite lead fluoride reagent prepared from PbF₂ and NaBr is a nonhygroscopic and efficient solid reagent for promoting Friedel–Crafts type reaction of aromatic compounds with allylic halides selectively to afford the monoallylated compounds.
