The synthesis of difluoromethyl ethers and sulfides with a simple, non-ozone- depleting reagent is described. The difluoromethylation of phenols with this reagent occurs at room temperature within minutes with exceptional functional group tolerance. The mild conditions makes possible tandem processes for the conversion of aryl boronic acids, aryl halides and arenes to difluoromethyl ethers. Mechanistic studies support a reaction pathway involving nucleophilic attack of the phenolate to difluorocarbene.

exhibited a linear relationship and a reaction parameter (ρ)=+0.56±0.02, which indicated that the trifluoromethylation reaction proceeded via a nucleophilic reactive species. Complex 2 reacts with phenols to produce aryl difluoromethyl ethers in modest‐to‐excellent yields. Mechanisticinvestigations revealed that the difluoromethylation reaction proceeds by initial copper‐mediated formation of difluorocarbene
