We report the first iron-catalyzed difluoromethylation of arylzincs with difluoromethyl2-pyridylsulfone via selective C-S bond cleavage. This method employs the readily available, bench-stable fluoroalkyl sulfone reagent and inexpensive iron catalyst, allowing facile access to structurally diverse difluoromethylated arenes at low temperatures. The experiment employing a radical clock indicates the

alkyl–aryl coupling reaction between sulfones and arylboron compounds has remained a challenge. We report the first iron-catalyzed radical difluoroalkylation of arylborates with N-heteroaryl sulfones. The coordination between the iron catalyst and the nitrogen atom of N-heteroaryl sulfones was identified to be important in overcoming the reductionpotentiallimitation of sulfones in the intermolecular single-electron-transfer

The nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling difluoromethylation of the Grignardreagents with difluoroiodomethane is shown to provide the corresponding aromatic difluoromethyl products in excellent to moderate yields. The difluoromethylation proceeds smoothly within 1 h at room temperature with 1.5 equiv of the Grignardreagents in the presence of Ni(cod)2/TMEDA (2.5–0.5 mol %). Mechanistic studies clarify
[reaction: see text] In the presence of 5 mol % of niobium(V) chloride, alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluorotoluene derivatives were reduced with lithiumaluminumhydride to give toluene derivatives in good yields. Stepwise, partial reduction of bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene derivative was also demonstrated.
