Abstract

A fast and practical cross-coupling between difluorocarbene and carbene-derived intermediates generated from diazocompounds provides hindered gem-difluoroolefins. Whereas the cross-coupling between difluorocarbene and aryl diazoacetates proceeded smoothly in the presence of a copper source, the coupling with diaryl diazomethanes occurred well under metal-free conditions.
