Abstract
Transition-metal
catalyzed
allylic
substitution
reactions
of
alkenes
are
among
the
most
efficient
methods
for
synthesizing
diene
compounds,
driven
by
inherent
preference

inner-sphere
mechanism.
Here,
we
present
a
demonstration
outer-sphere
mechanism
in
Rh-catalyzed
reaction
simple
using
gem
-difluorinated
cyclopropanes
as
allyl
surrogates.
This
unconventional
offers
opportunity

recycling
via
C
−
F
bond
cleavage/reformation,
ultimately
delivering
carbofluorination
products.
The
developed
method
tolerates
wide
range
alkenes,
providing
access
to
secondary,
tertiary
fluorides
and
-difluorides
with
100%
atom
economy.
DFT
calculations
reveal
that
formation
goes
through
unusual
nucleophilic
allyl-Rh
species
instead

insertion,
generated
carbon
cation
then
forms
