Ethyl bromofluoroacetate has been developed as a precursor for the convenient synthesis of unsymmetrical alpha,alpha-diarylacetates featuring indoles, anilines, and other electron-rich aromatics. In conjunction with a mild Lewis acid catalyzed C-N -> C-C exchange, intermediate arylglycines can be synthesized and transformed into alpha,alpha a-diarylacetates in a one-pot protocol, resulting in a net diarylation reaction exhibiting a wide scope. In the context of diarylacetates, the synthetic equivalence of the fluorinated reagent with a-nitro-a-diazo carbonyls was established.

The power of hydrogen-bond donor catalysis has been harnessed to elicit and control carbene-like reactivity from nitrodiazoesters. Specifically, select ureas have been identified as effective catalysts for N-H insertion and multicomponent coupling reactions of nitrodiazoesters, anilines, and aromatic nucleophiles, thereby preparing a variety of alpha-aryl glycines in high yield. Experimental and computational studies designed to probe the plausible reaction pathways suggest that difluoroboronate ureas are particularly well-suited to catalyze reactions of nitrodiazoesters with a range of anilines through a polar reaction pathway Urea-facilitated loss of nitrite followed by addition of a nucleophile conceivably generates the observed aryl glycine products.
