Direct Pd-catalyzed benzylation of highly electron-deficient perfluoroarenes.
An efficient and practical method to a wide range of perfluorinated unsymmetrical diarylmethanes with good to excellent yields and high regioselectivities has been developed by Pd-catalyzed direct benzylation of highly electron-deficient perfluoroarenes; excellent compatibility of functional groups has also been established.
