ACTIVATION OF POLYHALOALKANES BY PALLADIUM CATALYST. FACILE ADDITION OF POLYHALOALKANES TO OLEFINS

Abstract
Addition reaction of CCl4, CCl3Br, and CCl3CO2Me to olefins proceeded under mild conditions to afford 1 : 1 adduct in high yields by using palladium–phosphine complexes as a catalyst in the presence of bases. The reaction proceeded even at room temperature.
