An efficient new pathway towards Ï-substituted gem-difluoroalkanes from corresponding aryl alkyl thioethers by oxidative desulfurization-difluorination with the reagents combination of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH) as the oxidizer and pyridine-nonakis(hydrogen fluoride) as the fluoride source is described. Two succeeding fluoro-Pummerer-like rearrangements are suggested as a possible reaction mechanism.
