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.
