Trifluoromethylallylation of Heterocyclic C-H Bonds with Allylic Carbonates under Rhodium Catalysis

J Org Chem. 2016 Jun 3;81(11):4771-8. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.6b00721. Epub 2016 May 23.

Abstract

The rhodium(III)-catalyzed γ-trifluoromethylallylation of various heterocyclic C-H bonds with CF3-substituted allylic carbonates is described. These reactions provide direct access to linear CF3-containing allyl frameworks with complete trans-selectivity via C-H bond activation followed by a formal SN-type reaction pathway.
