A Pd-catalyzed difunctionalization of internal alkynes combining boronic acids and perfluoroalkyl iodides under mild conditions is described here. Tetrasubstituted olefins containing perfluoroalkyl groups are synthesized in high yields in a regio- and stereoselective manner. Mechanistic studies have been carried out to shed light on the nature of the likely intermediates involved in these transformations.
