Stereospecific Copper‐Catalyzed CH Allylation of Electron‐Deficient Arenes with Allyl Phosphates

Abstract

Rapid and concise: The title reaction proceeds via copper complexes in a highly stereospecific manner (see scheme; acac=acetylacetonate, phen=1,10-phenanthroline, TBS=tBuMe2Si). The catalysis provides a rapid and concise route to allylarenes that contain fluorinated aromatic cores of an electron-deficient nature.
