We present an allylic polyfluoroarylation reaction with broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance, using organozinc reagents under mild conditions. A catalytic amount of triphenylphosphine oxide efficiently promotes iodine-zinc exchange reaction between polyfluoroaryl iodide and dimethylzinc, and the resulting phosphine oxide-activated polyfluoroarylzinc undergoes substitution reaction with allylic halides to afford the corresponding polyfluoroarylated products.

The application of the Pd‐catalyzed oxidative C−H olefination of arenes, also known as the Fujiwara–Moritani reaction, has traditionally been limited by the requirement for directing groups on the substrate or the need to use the arene in large excess, typically as a (co)solvent. Herein the development of a catalytic system is described that, through the combined action of two complementary ligands
Highly basic Mg/La mixed oxide (Mg/La MO) is an effective heterogeneous base, at room temperature for the one-pot Wittig reaction involving aldehyde, a-halo esters and triphenylphosphine to afford alpha,beta-unsaturated esters in good yields with high E-stereoselectivity. Mg/La mixed oxide was recovered quantitatively by simple filtration and reused. The basic properties of Mg/La mixed oxide have been compared to those of nanocrystalline magnesium oxide using the microcalorimetric adsorption of CO2. and the reactivity for Wittig reactions. Mg/La mixed oxide is a stronger base than magnesium oxide (MgO) but shows a much smaller number of sites. Hammett correlations have been determined for both bases and show that the reaction is base mediated, with values of rho = 1.7 for Mg/La mixed oxide, and 1.1 for nanocrystalline magnesium oxide, and a compensation effect can then be observed.
