Room-temperature direct arylation of polyfluorinated arenes under biphasic conditions.
New biphasic conditions for the palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of electron-poor fluorinated arenes have been developed. Taking advantage of biphasic chemistry, the use of an immiscible mixture of water and an organic solvent allows complete solubilization of all components of the system, enabling the reaction to proceed at room temperature in yields up to 99%.
