• (CF3SO2)2Zn, which demonstrated great efficiency in introducing the CF3 moiety on (hetero)aromatic rings [34]. Trifluoromethylation of olefins: In 2005, Vogel and co-workers showed that terminal alkenes could be trifluoromethylated by means of CF3SO2Cl via a palladium-catalysed desulfitative Mizoroki–Heck

• . Palladium-catalyzed desulfitative arylation of heteroarenes allowed in a first step the synthesis of fluoroaryl-heteroarene units in high yields. Then, the next steps involve direct arylation with aryl bromides catalyzed by PdCl(C3H5)(dppb) to afford triad or tetrad heteroaromatic compounds via

• regioselective activation of C(sp2)–H bonds. Keywords: catalysis; C–H bond arylations; desulfitative; fluorine; palladium; Introduction Fluorinated π-conjugated oligomers increasingly receive recent interest owing to their particular applications as electronic devices (e.g., in organic solar cells) [1][2][3][4

• coupling partners. On the other hand, benzenesulfonyl chlorides were recently introduced as powerful arylating agents, through metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. Such desulfitative direct arylations sometimes offered different regioselectivities, e.g., thiophenes were
