“…The work was extended to include boron-free, diastereoselective versions incorporating N-acylimidazolidinone chiral auxiliaries (Scheme 26). Cyclization reaction of phenylacetonitrile and 1,2-dibromo-1,1-difluoroethane: Kagabu et al showed that the nitrile 63 could be obtained by the reaction of phenylacetonitrile ( 61) with 1,2-dibromo-1,1-difluoroethane (62) using sodium amide as the base (Scheme 27) [69]. However, the yield of this reaction was only 10%.…”
Recently, the functionalization of organic molecules with fluorine substituents has grown rapidly due to its applications in such fields as medicine, agriculture or materials sciences. The aim of this article is to review the importance of 1,1-difluorocyclopropane derivatives in synthesis. It will examine the role of the fluorine substituents in both ring-forming and ring-opening reactions, as well as methods for obtaining difluorocyclopropanes as single enantiomers. Several examples are provided to highlight the biological importance of this class of compounds.

2-Chloro-5-bromopyridine was immobilized on polystyrene via selective introduction of a traceless silicon linker at the C-4 position. A useful scaffold was thus obtained, as demonstrated by efficient and selective reactions with polar and transition organometallic reagents, opening a new access to pyridine-based libraries of synthons and chromophores.
“…In recent years, introducing difluorocyclopropyl moieties into biomolecules such as nucleosides , and amino acids has been a topic of considerable interest. Furthermore, transformations involving regioselective ring-opening of gem -difluorocyclopropanes provides a variety of useful fluoroorganic compounds. − Therefore, the development of general building blocks for gem -difluorocyclopropanes is of significant importance.…”

Cycloaddition of difluorocarbene to alkenyl boronates 3 gave boron-substituted gem-difluorocyclopropanes 2 in stereospecific fashion. Upon treatment with lithium carbenoids, cyclopropyl boronates 2 underwent one-carbon homologation to afford a variety of gem-difluorocyclopropanes in good yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
