Abstract

The synthesis of 1-(trifluoromethyl)alkenes through nickel-catalyzed alkylation/arylation of 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1233zd) with alkyl/aryl zinc reagents and cobalt-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between HCFO-1233zd and aryl bromides has been developed. These approaches feature broad substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, and the use of industrial feedstocks and low-cost nickel/cobalt catalysts, providing facile routes to access 1-(trifluoromethyl)alkenes. Diverse transformations of the resulting 1-(trifluoromethyl)alkenes demonstrated the synthetic utility of the current approaches.
