CF Activation at Rhodium Boryl Complexes: Formation of 2‐Fluoroalkyl‐1,3,2‐Dioxaborolanes by Catalytic Functionalization of Hexafluoropropene

Fluorinated building blocks by C-F bond cleavage: Catalytic C-F activation reactions that give novel dioxaborolanes have been developed (see scheme). The reactions proceed at room temperature, and catalytic intermediates are presumably rhodium hydride and boryl species.
