Abstract
We have developed a straightforward method for synthesizing distal difluoromethyl-substituted ketones bearing heteroaryl groups. This approach utilizes difluoromethylheteroarylation of unactivated alkenes through remote heteroaryl migration by employing bis(difluoroacetyl) peroxide (generated in situ from DFAA and urea·H₂O₂) as the difluoromethylating agent. Sunlight was proved to promote this transformation.
