Abstract

Abstract The interconversion between difluoromethylene ylide and difluorocarbene is described. The difluoromethylene ylide precursor, Ph 3 P+ CF 2 CO 2−, could be turned into an efficient difluorocarbene reagent, whereas the classical difluorocarbene reagents, HCF 2 Cl and FSO 2 CF 2 CO 2 TMS, could generate highly reactive difluoromethylene ylide. Thus the Wittig difluoro-olefination and difluorocyclopropanation could be selectively realized ...
