A copper-catalyzed system has been introduced for the enantioselective defluoroalkylation of linear 1-(trifluoromethyl)alkenes through C-F activation to synthesize various gem-difluoroalkenes as carbonyl mimics. For the first time, arylboronate-activated alkylGrignardreagents were uncovered in this cross-coupling reaction. Mechanistic studies confirmed that the tetraorganoborate complexes generated
