Abstract

We report here ruthenium-catalyzed arylation of fluorinated aromatic ketones via ortho-selective carbon-fluorine bond cleavage. In the presence of trimethylvinylsilane and cesium fluoride, ortho carbon-fluoride bonds of aromatic ketones were phenylated by 5,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane using RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 as a catalyst. Tandem C-F phenylation/C-H alkylation was observed for substrates bearing both one ortho hydrogen and one ortho fluorine atoms
