Pd-catalyzed divergent trifluoroethylation and arylation of arylboronic acids by aryl(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)iodonium triflates
Highly electrophilic aryl(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)iodonium triflates have been used for the first time as trifluoroethyl and aryl transfer reagents in Pd-catalyzed functionalization of arylboronic acids. Electron-rich arylboronic acids reacted with aryl(2,2,
Oxidative cross-coupling of arenes induced by single-electron transfer leading to biaryls by use of organoiodine(III)oxidants
(Chemical Equation Presented) Cross-coupling goes green: The direct oxidative cross-coupling reaction of naphthalenes and other electron-rich arenes with mesitylenes has been achieved in high yields using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents. The key for reac
