Palladium-Catalyzed Diversified Synthesis of Monofluorinated Alkenes from Allylic gem-Difluorides through Pd–OH Intermediate

Significant advancements in synthesis of monofluoroalkenes via palladium-catalyzed reactions involving allylic gem-difluorides and diverse nucleophiles have been achieved. This method allows regioselective arylation, alkylation, allylation, alkenylation, and hydrogenation of allylic gem-difluorides, yielding high Z-selectivity and favorable product yields under mild conditions. Tolerating various functional groups, these transformations utilize a common Pd–OH intermediate. Additionally, employing triple Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling yields diverse trisubstituted alkenes efficiently.
