Unsaturated cyclic α,α-difluoro ketones were prepared in high yield by the reaction of hydroxy-substituted aromatic derivatives with 1-fluoro-4-hydroxy-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis-(tetrafluoroborate) [Accufluor TM - NFTh] in methanol or acetonitrile solution, while α,α-difluoro phenones were obtained from phenylsubstituted alkynes in MeCN/H2O 9:1 reaction media.
