Conversion of Hexafluoropropene into 1,1,1-Trifluoropropane by Rhodium-Mediated CF Activation

Abstract

Rapid and regioselective CF bond activation of hexafluoropropene occurs on reaction with 1. Treatment of the resulting complex 2 with hydrogen yields the rhodium fluoro complex 3 and 1,1,1-trifluoropropane (4).
