olefination protocol underbasicconditions due to the retro‐aldol type decomposition of the key intermediate. Efficient gem‐difluoroolefination of aliphatic aldehydes was achieved by the use of an amide base generated in situ (from CsF and tris(trimethylsilyl)amine), which diminishes the undesired enolization of aliphatic aldehydes and provides a powerful synthetic method for chemoselective gem‐difluoroolefination
described. This novel catalytic transformation proceeds in the presence of Pd(acac)2/1,2‐bis((di‐tert‐butylphosphan‐yl)methyl)benzene (btbpx) (L4) and allows for an efficient and straightforward access to a range of difluoromethylated esters in high yields and regioselectivities. The synthetic utility of the protocol is showcased in the practical synthesis of a Cyclandelate analogue using this methodology
