Transition-Metal Complex Catalyzed Perfluoroalkylation. A Facile Synthesis of Fluorine-Containing Esters by Carbo-Carbonylation of Alkynes and Alkenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.833

Palladium-catalyzed reaction of perfluoroalkyl iodides with terminal alkynes or alkenes in alcohols under carbon monoxide pressure in the presence of potassium carbonate directly gives β-perfluoroalkyl-substituted alkenoates or alkanoates, respectively.
