A silver-catalyzed, defluorination
ring-opening diarylation of
siloxy 2,2-difluorocyclopropanes, with two arenes, to directly prepare
polysubstituted 2-fluoroallylic compounds, is described. This multicomponent
reaction proceeds smoothly in good stereoselectivity, which is due
to a chelation-controlled addition of arenes to α-fluorinated
ketone intermediate.
