of gem-difluoroalkenes through the Ramberg-Bäcklund reaction of alkyl triflones is described herein. Structurally diverse, fully-substituted gem-difluoroalkenes that are difficult to prepare by other methods can be easily prepared from readily available triflones by treatment with specific Grignard reagents. Experimental and computationalstudies provide insight into the unique and critical role of

A new synthesis of gem-difluoroalkenes from readily available alkyl triflones and difluorocarbene precursors such as TMSCF2Br has been reported. The reaction, regardless of electronic effect, gives gem-difluoroalkenes in good to excellent yields. The mechanism may involve deprotonation of triflones, nucleophilic addition, and the elimination of SO2CF3.
A novel strategy is demonstrated for Lewis base-activated trifluoromethylsulfinylation of allylic alcohols. Controllable synthesis of structurally varied allylic trifluoromethanesulfones via sigmatropic rearrangements was performed, and trifluoromethanesulfinate esters were achieved. This metal-free, catalytic divergent transformation features good functional group tolerance and late-stage modification
