Abstract: | Conclusions A method of obtaining trifluorostyrene and its derivatives (p-Me, p-MeO, p-Cl) has been developed by the cross combination reaction of aryl iodides with trifluorovinylzinc chloride catalyzed by palladium complexes. In the case of aryl iodides with strong electron accepting substitutents a stable palladium complex was formed which did not react in the cross combination reaction. Under more drastic conditions it is possible to use trifluorovinyltrialkylstannanes in place of the organozinc compounds.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1647–1649, July, 1985. |
