Abstract

Efficient and selective substitution of cyclic and acyclic vinyl ethers with photo-generated difluoromethyl radicals bearing ester and phosphonate groups, in the presence of 2, 4, 6- trimethylpyridine and diphenyl diselenide was successfully carried out to provide the corresponding regioselective unsaturated difluoromethylene adducts selectively. The reaction involves phenylselenyl transfer at an early stage followed by elimination of ...
