In Situ Generated Fluorinated Iminium Salts for Difluoromethylation and Difluoroacetylation

Org Lett. 2015 Sep 18;17(18):4510-3. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.5b02184. Epub 2015 Sep 3.

Abstract

The use of TFEDMA, a fluoroalkyl amino reagent, for the difluoromethylation and difluoroacylation of arenes, heteroarenes, and C-H acidic compounds is reported. This approach allows for an efficient access to difluoromethylated products of high added value in good to excellent yields and with scale-up possibilities.
