  1. Conditions: 1a (0.1 mmol), 2 (0.2 mmol 2.0 equiv), CsF (0.2 mmol, 2.0 equiv), Pd, and ligand were stirred for 15 h at 70 °C in anhydrous DMF (1.5 mL).
  2. aDetermined by 19F NMR spectroscopy. The numbers in parentheses refer to the isolated yield.
  3. b1a (0.3 mmol), 2 (0.36 mmol, 1.2 equiv), CsF (0.45 mmol, 1.5 equiv), Pd(TFA)2 (1.0 mol%), and Xantphos (1.5 mol%) were stirred for 15 h at 70 °C in anhydrous DMF (2.0 mL).
