DFT Studies on Ni-Mediated C–F Cleavage for the Synthesis of Cyclopentadiene Derivatives

Density functional theory calculations have been performed to study the detailed mechanism of Ni-mediated [3+2] cycloaddition of 2-trifluoromethyl-1-alkenes with alkynes via cleavage of two C-F bonds. It was found that the reaction pathway involves oxidative cyclization, the first β-fluorine elimina...
