摘要

A convenient method for the difluoromethylation of phenols and thiophenols, using diethyl bromodifluoromethylphosphonate (1) as a difluorocarbene precursor, is described. This commercially available phosphonate was found to undergo an extremely facile P–C bond cleavage on basic hydrolysis (− 78° C to rt), presumably leading to the bromodifluoromethyl anion, which subsequently converts to a difluorocarbene intermediate. The latter is ...
