Abstract
Zn mediates a decarboxylative/defluorinative alkylation of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes with N-hydroxyphthalimide esters as radical precursors. Several α-trifluoromethyl alkenes were readily coupled to a wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary radicals, affording the desired gem-difluoroethylenes in good yields.
