Abstract
A gem-difluoroolefination of trifluoroacetaldehyde N-triftosylhydrazone with organoboronic acids - including alkylboronic acids - is operationally simple, free of transition metals, and suitable for a broad range of substrates. Moreover, the utility of the products was demonstrated by further conversion of the gem-difluorovinyl group.
