Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization of acrylamides was developed to build up stereoselectively trifluoromethylated 1,3-butadienes. Using a tertiary amide as a directing group, olefins were selectively functionalized with 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene to access these important fluorinated compounds. The methodology was extended to the construction of pentafluoroethyl-substituted 1,3-dienes. Mechanistic studies supported by density functional theory calculations suggested a redox neutral mechanism for this transformation.
