Abstract

Assistance provided: The directing group in the title reaction not only activates the substrates but also allows the stereospecific formation of cis-trifluoromethylated products. The reaction is operationally simple and tolerates a wide variety of functional groups, thus providing an efficient method for the stereoselective synthesis of β-CF3-functionalized acrylamide derivatives.
