title: Copper-catalyzed arylation of 1H-perfluoroalkanes.
abstract: A general method has been developed for arylation of readily available 1H-perfluoroalkanes. The method employs aryl iodide and 1H-perfluoroalkane reagents, DMPU solvent, TMP(2)Zn base, and a copper chloride/phenanthroline catalyst. Preliminary mechanistic studies are reported.
