A Novel Perfluoroalkylation of Pyrroles with Perfluoroalkanesulfonyl chloride Catalyzed by a Ruthenium(II) Phosphine Complex

Abstract
Direct perfluoroalkylation of N-substituted pyrroles with tridecafluorohexanesulfonyl chloride catalyzed by a ruthenium(II) phosphine complex proceeds regioselectively in high yield.
