Abstract
C-H bond activation and difluorocarbene transfer. Our route enables facile access to the targeted products with various substituents in moderate to high yields. This method features high reactivity, good functional group tolerance, a simple operation procedure, and mild reaction conditions. The reaction can be carried out on a gram scale.
