Frustrated Lewis pair catalyzed C–F activation of α-trifluoromethylstyrenes

A frustrated Lewis pair approach is used for the monoselective C–F activation of α-trifluoromethyl styrenes. Selective C–F activation of α-trifluoromethyl styrenes with trispentafluorophenylborane (BCF) in partnership with tri(ortho-tolyl)phosphine or 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine (TPPy) generates γ-subst...
