Rh(I)-Catalyzed Olefin Hydroarylation with Electron-Deficient Perfluoroarenes

摘要

Transition-metal-catalyzed olefin hydroarylation has become an important strategy for alkylarene synthesis. These atom-economic processes have been shown to proceed through aromatic C-H bond activation and subsequent olefin insertion. Such a metal-mediated pathway is distinct from the conventional Friedel -Crafts mechanism and can promote anti-Markovnikov selectivity.
