Rh(III)-Catalyzed, Redox-Neutral, C–H Multifluoroalkenylation of Benzamides.

Fluorinated molecules are widely used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Multifluoroalkyl-containing compounds have attracted increasing attention for their unique ability to alter the activity of drugs and bioactive molecules. Herein, we report an efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed, redox-neutral, C–H multifluoroalkenylation of benzamides with multifluoroalkenes, which provides a versatile protocol for accessing a wide range of multifluoroalkenylated arenes.
