Abstract Fluorine‐containing moieties are widely used in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material fields. Thus, these structures of immense interest fields organic synthesis medicinal chemistry. Among various fluorinated groups, difluoromethyl unit has drawn increasing attention due to its unique pharmaceutical properties. In recent years, several methods for difluoromethylated compounds have been rapidly developed. However, most treat aromatic with excess difluoromethylating reagents, which often contain organometallic compounds, so transformations generally less environmentally friendly atom‐economical. this review, we summarize development new motifs or difluoroalkenes from trifluoromethylated trifluoromethyl alkenes via single C( sp 3 )−F bond cleavage. magnified image

The replacement of a functional group with its corresponding bioisostere is widely employed tactic during drug discovery campaigns that allows medicinal chemists to improve the ADME properties candidates while maintaining potency. However, incorporation bioisosteres typically requires lengthy de novo resynthesis potential candidates, which represents bottleneck in their broader evaluation. An alternative would be directly convert into at late stage. Herein, we report realization this approach through conversion aliphatic alcohols difluoromethylated analogues via merger benzoxazolium-mediated deoxygenation and copper-mediated C(sp3)–CF2H bond formation. utility method showcased variety complex compounds.

Frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) bond activation chemistry has greatly developed over the last two decades since seminal report of metal-free reversible hydrogen activation. Recently, FLP systems have been utilized to allow monoselective C-F (at equivalent sites) in polyfluoroalkanes. The problem 'over-defluorination' functionalization polyfluoroalkanes (where multiple fluoro-positions are uncontrollably functionalized) a long-standing chemical fluorocarbon for 80 years. mediated is complementary other solutions address and offers several advantages unique opportunities. This perspective highlights some these opportunities places development into context wider effort overcome 'over-defluorination'.
