A one-step catalytic method for aromatic perfluoroalkylation with electrochemically reduced metal complexes under mild conditions with decisive role of the sacrificial anode metal ion has been developed. Cross-coupling is successful with bromo- and iodo-benzene and perfluoroalkyl iodide and number of cobalt and nickel complexes.
Graphical abstractA one-step catalytic method for aromatic perfluoroalkylation with electrochemically reduced metal complexes under mild conditions with decisive role of the sacrificial anode metal ion has been developed.
