“…For instance, functionalized difluoroalkyl halides [GFCF 2 X, where FG = CO 2 Et, CONHR, PO(OEt) 2 , COAr, or SO 2 Ph] were commonly used as efficient radical precursors in various difluoroalkylation reactions . In this regard, our group disclosed a new type of fluorinated peroxy ester, which enabled α-C(sp 3 )–H difluoroalkylation of glycine derivatives under conditions free of transition metals . Compared with radical precursors, the difluoroalkylation reagents serving as radical acceptors are relatively rare.…”
