- Prepared two novel bromodifluoromethyl(arylsulfonyl) compounds
- Using high-throughput experimentation (HTE) we have identified a very challenging Suzuki type coupling reaction catalyzed by nickel, providing direct formation of Csp2-CF2SO2Ar bonds
- We propose a CF2SO2Ar radical species is involved in the reaction pathway
- Future work will focus on the use of a photocatalyst to improve the harsh conditions of this transformation
