Chemo- and Regioselective Distal Heteroaryl ipso-Migration: A General Protocol for Heteroarylation of Unactivated Alkenes

J Am Chem Soc. 2017 Feb 1;139(4):1388-1391. doi: 10.1021/jacs.6b11234. Epub 2017 Jan 23.

Abstract

Herein we report a novel, general protocol for distal heteroaryl ipso-migration and its application to the elusive heteroarylation of unactivated alkenes. A set of nitrogen-containing heteroaryl groups showcase the migratory aptitude. This reaction provides a variety of fluoroalkyl functionalized heteroarenes under mild reaction conditions. This is the first report of a difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with distal heteroaryl migration.
