Abstract

Pd(0)-Catalyzed Radical Aryldifluoromethylation of Activated Alkenes. -A novel method is elaborated for the synthesis of difluoromethylated oxindoles using the Pd-catalyzed reaction of N-arylacrylamides (I) with iodide (II) and a subsequent magnesium-mediated desulfonylation. -(WANG, J.-Y.; SU, Y.-M.; YIN, F.; BAO, Y.; ZHANG, X.; XU, Y.-M.; WANG*, X.-S.; Chem.
