Stereoselective Synthesis of Perfluoroalkylated (E,E)-Dienes from Perfluoroalkylated Alkynes. The Synthesis of Fluorinated Analogs of Lepidoptera Pheromones

Pd(dba)2 -HOAc catalyzed the isomerization of 1-perfluoroalkyl-1-alkynes to give 1-perfluoroalkyl-(1E,3E)-dienes in good yield and stereoselectivity; the fluorinated analogs of Lepidoptera species sex pheromone attractants were synthesized applying this method.
