Abstract

We present an allylic polyfluoroarylation reaction with broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance, using organozinc reagents under mild conditions. A catalytic amount of triphenylphosphine oxide efficiently promotes iodine-zinc exchange reaction between polyfluoroaryl iodide and dimethylzinc, and the resulting phosphine oxide-activated polyfluoroarylzinc undergoes substitution reaction with allylic halides to afford the corresponding polyfluoroarylated products.
