Copper-catalyzed direct C-H fluoroalkenylation of heteroarenes

Org Biomol Chem. 2016 Jan 7;14(1):353-7. doi: 10.1039/c5ob02213d. Epub 2015 Nov 25.

Abstract

Copper-catalyzed direct C-H fluoroalkenylation of heterocycles using various gem-bromofluoroalkenes as electrophiles is reported. This efficient method offers step-economical, low-cost and stereocontrolled access to relevant heteroarylated monofluoroalkenes. The synthesis of fluorinated analogues of biomolecules and therapeutic agents for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy as application is reported.
