Abstract
A copper‐catalyzed regio‐ and stereoselective hydrodifluoroallylation of terminal alkynes was disclosed. This reaction employs easily available 3‐bromo‐3,3‐difluoropropene (BDFP) as the difluoroallylating reagent and 1,1,3,3‐tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO) as the hydride source, affording a variety of (E)‐1,1‐difluoro‐1,4‐dienes in moderate to good yields. The synthetic utility of this protocol has been demonstrated through the transformation of resulting (E)‐1,1‐difluoro‐1,4‐diene to difluoromethylated and trifluoromethylated derivatives. magnified image
