Abstract

Simply id(all)ylic: a copper- and phosphine-ligand-free Pd-catalyzed direct allylation of electron-deficient polyfluoroarenes with allylic chlorides and the reaction mechanism are described. The simple catalytic system, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional-group compatibility of this protocol provides a useful and facile access to allylated polyfluoroarenes.
