Syntheses of 2-(Pentafluorophenyl)thiophene Derivatives via the Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki Reaction

Abstract

Various bis(pentafluorophenyl)-substituted thiophene and selenophene derivatives are effectively synthesized by the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki reaction using pentafluorophenyl boronic acid.

Keywords

boron - palladium - catalyst - cross-coupling - fluorine
