A practical source of chlorodifluoromethyl radicals. Convergent routes to gem -difluoroalkenes and -dienes and (2,2-Difluoroethyl)-indoles, -azaindoles, and -naphthols

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The preparation of O-octadecyl-S-chlorodifluoromethyl xanthate from chlorodifluoroacetic acid and its use as a convenient source of chlordifluoromethyl radicals is described. This reagent may be used to access gem-difluoroalkenes and -dienes, as well as (2,2-difluoroethyl)indolines, -indoles, and -naphthols.
