Abstract
Multicomponent reactions are fundamentally different from two-component reactions, as multicomponent reactions can enable the efficient and step-economical construction of complex molecular scaffolds from simple precursors. Here, an unprecedented three-component direct C-H addition was achieved in the challenging meta-selective fashion. Fluoroalkyl halides and a wide range of alkenes, including vinylarenes, unactivated alkenes, and internal alkenes, were employed as the coupling partners of arenes in this strategy. The detailed mechanism presented is supported by kinetic isotope studies, radical clock experiments, and density functional theory calculations. Moreover, this strategy provided access to various fluoride-containing bioactive 1,1-diarylalkanes and other challenging synthetically potential products.
