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
