[reaction: see text] Rh(2)(OAc)(4) catalyzed the formation of exclusively trans fluorinated alkenes from aldehydes and pentafluorobenzaldehyde tosylhydrazone salts, which were readily prepared from pentafluorobenzaldehyde using the Bamford-Stevens reaction. A series of pentafluorophenyl-containing alkenes were synthesized from aldehydes in moderate to
