PALLADIUM AND NICKEL-CATALYZED PERFLUOROALKYLATION OF ALDEHYDES USING ZINC AND PERFLUOROALKYL HALIDES
A room temperature method for the conversion of perfluoroalkyl iodides to α-perfluoroalkyl carbinols under Pd or Ni catalysis is reported.The use of trifluoromethyl bromide provides an economical procedure for trifluoromethyl substituted carbinols.
