Org Lett. 2016 Jul 1;18(13):3302-5. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.6b01642. Epub 2016 Jun 14.

Abstract

A copper-catalyzed direct propargylation of polyfluoroarenes with secondary propargyl phosphates has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency and regioselectivity and provides a concise and straightforward method for the synthesis of polyfluoroarylated derivatives of interest in both life and materials science.
