(2-Fluoroallyl)palladium complexes as intermediates in Pd-catalyzed Tsuji-Trost 2-fluoroallylations: Synthesis and reactivity

Abstract

The first examples of -(2-fluoroallyl)palladium complexes were synthesised, isolated and characterized including chloride dimers, neutral chloride or cationic triflate comlexes bearing PPh3 or SPhos as the ligands. Preliminary reactivity patterns indicating strong dependence of the chemoselectivity on "hardness" of the nucleophile and the ligand type were studied.
