Abstract: | An unprecedented Pd‐catalyzed regioselective activation of gem‐difluorinated cyclopropanes induced by C? C bond cleavage is reported. It provides a general and efficient access to a variety of 2‐fluoroallylic amines, ethers, esters, and alkylation products in high Z‐selectivity, which are important skeletons in many biologically active molecules. In addition, the transformation represents the first general application of gem‐difluorinated cyclopropanes as reaction partners in transition‐metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reaction. |
