New coinage-metal heptafluoroisopropyl (L n Mhfip) complexes are synthesized from the metal fluoride and inexpensive hexafluoropropene (M = Ag, Cu; L = PPh 3 , 2,2,6,6tetramethylpiperidine (Htmp)). Reaction of the silver Htmp complex with a Ni dibromide complex led to efficient hfip transfer to afford L 2 NiBr(hfip) (L = 2-ethylpyridine). Treatment of the Nihfip complex with ZnPh 2 gave the corresponding L 2 NiPh(hfip) complexes, which were investigated for reductive elimination of PhCF(CF 3 ) 2 . Although the desired reductive elimination proved unsuccessful, addition of carbon monoxide to L 2 NiPh(hfip) effected an efficient heptafluoroisopropyl carbonylative crosscoupling. Further, while the silver complex does not undergo hfip transfer to organic electrophiles, the copper complex (phen)(PPh 3 )Cu(hfip) (3b) effectively transfers the hfip unit to various substrates. We investigated the scope of 3b with acid chlorides toward the synthesis of perfluoroisopropyl aryl ketones. Additionally, reaction conditions for hfip transfer to pfluorobenzyl bromide and p-fluorobenzaldehyde were identified. As a bonus, 3b was easily generated on a gram scale using commercially available copper hydride by taking advantage of a rapid hydrodefluorination to generate "Cu−F" in situ. Aspects of the observed reactivity are supported by DFT calculations.
