Radical hydrodifluoromethylation of unsaturated C−C bonds via an electroreductively triggered two-pronged approach

The installation of difluoromethylene groups into bio-relevant molecules allows access to important scaffolds, but existing methods to do so often rely on oxidative chemical species that can hamper reactivity. Here, radical hydrodifluoromethylation with a wide range of unsaturated C–C bonds is achie...

description The installation of difluoromethylene groups into bio-relevant molecules allows access to important scaffolds, but existing methods to do so often rely on oxidative chemical species that can hamper reactivity. Here, radical hydrodifluoromethylation with a wide range of unsaturated C–C bonds is achieved via an electroreductive two-pronged approach, granting access to a variety of difluoromethylated organic molecules.
