Palladium-Mediated Heck-Type Reactions of [(Bromodifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]benzene: Synthesis of α-Alkenyl- and α-Heteroaryl-Substituted α,α-Difluoromethyl Phenyl Sulfones
Palladium-catalyzed Heck-type reactions of [(bromodifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]benzene (1) with styrene derivatives and heteroaromatic compounds successfully gave a-alkenyl- and a-heteroaryl-substituted a,a-difluoromethyl phenyl sulfones, respectively.
