Abstract

D) are important functional groups in pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds, and the introduction of these functional groups remains a challenging. We herein report a robust reagent for deuteriodifluoromethylthiolation and deuteriodifluoromethylation. Its potentials were successfully showcased by deuteriodifluoromethylation and deuteriodifluoromethylthiolation of indoles with high-level deuterium incorporation. The reagent also has potential for deuteriodifluoromethylation and deuteriodifluoromethylthiolation of wide range of other natural or synthetic bioactive molecules.
