Graphical Abstract

Abstract

A photoredox defluorinative silylation of α-trifluoromethyl arylalkenes for rapid access to useful gem-difluoroalkenes is disclosed. Stable and easily prepared silacarboxylic acids are used as silyl radical precursors in a photocatalytic decarboxylative process. The mild conditions and operational simplicity make our method a straightforward strategy to construct gem-difluoroalkenes bearing various functional groups, and a powerful strategy for incorporating a gem-difluoroalkene moiety into natural products and drug molecules.
