Photoredox Generation of Carbon ‐Centered Radicals Enables the Construction of 1,1‐Difluoroalkene Carbonyl Mimics

AngewchemPhotoredox Generation of Carbon ‐Centered Radicals Enables the Construction of 1,1‐Difluoroalkene Carbonyl Mimics: Described is a facile, scalable route to access functional ‐group‐rich gem‐difluoroalkenes. Using visible‐light‐activated catalysts in conjunction with an arsenal of carbon‐radical precursors, an array...
