Abstract
A general site-selective difluoroalkylation of alkyl carboxylic redox esters with difluoroenoxysilanes through photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylation offers high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope. The reaction tolerates primary, secondary, and sterically hindered tertiaryl alkyl substrates and can also be extended to aliphatic amine derived pyridinium salts.
