Abstract
<p class="first" id="d11640794e93">A first example of low-energy blue-light-mediated
formal Doyle-Kirmse reaction for
gem-difluoroallylation of aryl diazoesters has been developed. A variety of highly
functionalized gem-difluoroallyl containing esters bearing transformable sulfur and
bromine groups were efficiently assembled with broad substrate scope under mild, catalyst-free,
and additive-free conditions. The reaction represents a practical and environmentally
friendly approach for C-CF2 bond formation based on rearrangement strategy, which
will find potential applications among drug discovery and development.
