RESUMO
The Cu(I)-catalyzed pentafluoroethylation of iodoarenes via the fluorocupration of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is disclosed. The active species, (phen)CuC2 F5 , was isolated and its molecular structure confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The key to the successful suppression of the competing oligomerization of TFE is to refrain from stirring the reaction mixture. A mechanistic study clearly discarded the possibility that the catalytic reaction proceeds via a radical pathway.
