Ru(phen)3Cl2‐Catalyzed Chlorotrifluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkenes
Abstract
Abstract A novel Ru(phen)3Cl2‐catalyzed free‐radical chlorotrifluoromethylation reaction of unactivated olefins was investigated. Substituted 8‐aminoquinoline‐derived inert enamides were reacted with the Togni regent to afford a broad range of Cl‐containing trifluoromethyl derivatives in good yields. The reaction proceeded at 90 °C and experimental result shows that the chlorine source of the products originated from LiCl.
