Abstract
The installation of gem-difluoromethylene groups into two adjacent aryl groups is a formidable synthetic challenge despite their attractive structural, physical, and biochemical properties. Herein, we disclose a photoredox-catalyzed selective defluoroarylation of heteroarenes through inert C(sp3)–F and C(sp2)–H selective cleavage, which provides a straightforward route to access medicinally relevant aryl–heteroaryl or heteroaryl–heteroaryl difluoromethane scaffolds. Salient features of this reaction include readily accessible starting materials, metal-free conditions, and broad substrate scope.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
