The fluorine-containing pi-allylmetal complex. The transition metal-catalyzed allylic substitution reaction of fluorinated allyl mesylates with various carbon nucleophiles.

The allylic substitution reaction of [small alpha]-fluoroalkylated allyl mesylates with various carbon nucleophiles in the presence of transition metal catalyst (Pd and Mo) proceeded with high regioselectivity to give the corresponding [gamma]-fluoroalkylated products in excellent yields.
