Double CF Bond Activation through β‐Fluorine Elimination: Nickel‐Mediated [3+2] Cycloaddition of 2‐Trifluoromethyl‐1‐alkenes with Alkynes
The nickel-mediated [3+2] cycloaddition of 2-trifluoromethyl-1-alkenes with alkynes afforded fluorine-containing multi-substituted cyclopentadienes in a regioselective manner. This reaction involves the consecutive two C-F bond cleavage of a trifluoromethyl or a pentafluoroethyl group through β-fluorine elimination.
