Weinreb amides into difluoromethylketones with a formal nucleophilic CHF2 transfer agent is reported. Activating TMSCHF2 with potassium tert-amylate enables a convenient access to the difluorinated homologation reagent, which adds to the acylating partners. The high chemoselectivity showcased in the presence of variously multifunctionalized Weinreb amides, jointly with uniformly high yields, enables the
allowed the structural characterization of palladium(II)fluoroacyl intermediates derived from C–N bond oxidative addition of an amide electrophile. They also revealed the high reactivity of these intermediates for transmetallation with boronic acids without exogenous base. The mechanisticstudies also provided a platform to design a practical catalytic protocol for the synthesis of a diversity of α,α-difluoroketones

A carbene strategy for the sequential (deutero)hydrodefluorination of fluoroalkyl ketones is reported. This method allowed for the controllable preparation of difluoroalkyl- and monofluoroalkyl ketones from aryl- and alkyl-substituted perfluoroalkyl ketones in high yield with excellent functional group tolerance.
