The palladium-catalysed direct di-heteroarylation of 1,2-dichloroperfluorocyclohexene with a variety of heteroarenes gives rise in to a new family of 1,2-di(heteroaryl)perfluorocyclohexenes. These derivatives do not exhibit photoreactivity and this unexpected outcome is explained by calculations demonstrating the lack of reactive isomers.
