3,3,3-Trifluoropropene (TFP) is an inexpensive and bulk industrial material and has important applications in the production of fluorinated polymers, refrigerant and so on. The use of TFP as a fluorine source enables access to a variety of fluorinated compounds. To date, important progress has been made in the transformations of TFP, however, most of the developed methods focused on the functionalization of carbon-carbon double bond of TFP. The controllable formation of fluorinated products via regio-selective functionalization of TFP received less attention. Herein, a nickel-catalyzed regioselective coupling of TFP with arylzinc reagents is described. By fine-tuning the reaction solvent, two different types of fluorinated products, gem-difluoroalkenes and Heck-type aryl-substituted TFPs, were obtained. The use of dioxane as the solvent led to a series of gem-difluoroalkenes in moderate to good yields with high regio-selectivity and functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions. While, switching solvent from dioxane to N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), the Heck-type aryl-substituted TFPs were obtained. This regioselective coupling provides an efficient route for applications of TFP in organic synthesis.
