摘要
Monofluoroalkenes are important and versatile privileged components in pharmacologically relevant molecules.Here,we report a method for the selective construction of these compounds in a diversity-oriented fashion through regiodivergent cross-coupling of gem-difluorocyclopropanes with allylboronates by employing a palladium catalyst with two different ligands,in which gem-difluorocyclopropanes were used as allyl electrophiles by C—C and C—F bond activation.In the presence of 2-biphenylyl(diphenyl)phosphine as ligand,the linear-selective allyl–allyl bond formation is highly obtained,while utilizing the sterically hindered BrettPhos(dicyclohexyl[3,6-dimethoxy-2',4',6'-tris(1-methylethyl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl]phosphine)as the ligand favors the generation of the branched-selective product.Experimental and computational studies investigated the key steps of the cross-coupling reactions,revealing the origin of the ligand-controlled regiodivergence.
