Abstract

A Pd-catalyzed fluoroarylation of gem-difluoroalkenes with aryl halides is reported. By taking advantage of the in situ generated α-CF3-benzylsilver intermediates derived from the nucleophilic addition of silver fluoride to gem-difluoroalkenes, this strategy bypasses the use of a strong base, thus enabling a mild and general synthetic method for ready access to non-symmetric α,α-disubstituted trifluoroethane derivatives.
