New Efficient Palladium-Catalyzed Perfluoroalkylation of Carbon-Carbon Multiple Bonds with F-Alkyl Iodides. An Expedient Route to F-Alkylated Alkyl and Alkenyl Iodides

A variety of alkenes and alkynes efficiently undergo the perfluoroalkylation with F-alkyl iodides in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) in hexane to give good yields of the corresponding F-alkylated alkyl and alkenyl iodides, respectively.
