.alpha.-Trifluoromethyl-destabilized cations. A route to 1-(trifluoromethyl)tetralins by trifluoroacetolysis of 5-aryl-1,1,1-trifluoropentan-2-ols and derivatives

A novel, Pd-catalyzed oxidative Heck reaction of non-activatedalkenes synergistically directed by bifunctional groups has been developed firstly by using O2 as a green oxidant, yielding the oxidative Heck products with excellent yields in a regio- and stereoselective manner. This bifunctional synergistic activation mechanism was demonstrated by experimental analysis and detailed computational studies
