Abstract

CF2BrCl reacts with aluminum/N-methylpyrrolidinone in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane to give Me3SiCF2Cl in high yield. Similarly, CF2Br2 gives Me3SiCF2Br with bromotrimethylsilane. Chlorodifluoromethylation of aldehydes using Me3SiCF2Cl and a catalytic amount of TBAF in polar solvents occurs at room temperature, providing difluoromethylated alcohols in two steps. Electroreduction of Me3SiCF2Cl in the presence ...
