Abstract
A new radical difluoromethylation was developed by using inexpensive and readily available difluoroacetic anhydride and N-phenyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide for the first time. The reaction of arylboronic acids with the new difluoromethylation reagent, N-phenyl-N-tosyldifluoroacetamide, proceeded smoothly in the presence of palladium catalyst to provide difluoromethylarenes in satisfactory to excellent yields. The electronic property (electron-donating or electron-withdrawing) of the substituent linked to the aromatic ring did not considerably influence the reactivity of arylboronic acid. Various groups, including the synthetically useful functional groups Cl, CN, and NO2, were tolerated well under the current reaction conditions.

Abstract
The incorporation of difluoromethylene groups into aza-heterocycles represents a compelling yet underexplored avenue in contemporary chemical research. In this study, we unveil a hybrid palladium-catalyzed intramolecular gem-difluoroalkylamination of conjugated dienes, providing a versatile approach to the synthesis of diverse functionalized pyrrolidines. Noteworthy features include mild reaction conditions and a remarkable tolerance toward various functional groups. Additionally, the use of alkyl iodides as electrophiles facilitates the generation of the corresponding alkylamination products. Control experiments support a proposed hybrid palladium-catalyzed radical-polar crossover pathway, offering insights into the underlying chemical processes governing this transformation.

Abstract
Difluoromethyl pyridines have gained significant attention in medicinal and agricultural chemistry. The direct C-H-difluoromethylation of pyridines represents a highly efficient economic way to access these azines. However, the direct meta-difluoromethylation of pyridines has remained elusive and methods for site-switchable regioselective meta- and para-difluoromethylation are unknown. Here, we demonstrate the meta-C-H-difluoromethylation of pyridines through a radical process by using oxazino pyridine intermediates, which are easily accessed from pyridines. The selectivity can be readily switched to para by in situ transformation of the oxazino pyridines to pyridinium salts upon acid treatment. The preparation of various meta- and para-difluoromethylated pyridines through this approach is presented. The mild conditions used also allow for the late-stage meta- or para-difluoromethylation of pyridine containing drugs. Sequential double functionalization of pyridines is presented, which further underlines the value of this work.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed iodine-assisted carbonylation reaction of indoles with readily available ClCF2CO2Na and alcohols has been developed. This protocol provides a practical and efficient approach to highly regioselective indole-3-carboxylates via a preiodination strategy of indoles. Different from classic carbonylation using toxic and difficult-to-handle carbon monoxide, this operationally simple and scalable reaction employed difluorocarbene as the carbonyl surrogate.

Abstract
Herein, we report a ligand-controlled palladium-catalyzed method that enables the synthesis of ynones and γ-butenolides with excellent regioselectivity from the same set of readily available aryl iodides, aryl acetylenes, and BrCF2CO2K. In this reaction, the [PdII]═CF2 does demonstrate electrophilicity and can generate CO readily when reacting with H2O. It is environmentally friendly and safe compared to traditional methods, and the current protocol enables us to afford ynones and γ-butenolides in high yields with excellent functionality tolerance. Moreover, esters can also be obtained with corresponding phenols and alcohols utilizing this strategy. The success of late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds further illustrates the synthetic utility of this protocol in material development and drug discovery.

Abstract
The facile synthesis of gem-difluorinated 1,2-diazetidines was achieved by metal-free [3+1] annulation between C,N-cyclic azomethine imines with difluorocarbene. A library of 30 compounds benefiting from the TBAF-mediated cyclization process could be directly assembled in moderate to good yield under mild conditions. A plausible mechanism involving the difluorocarbene pathway was proposed based on carbene trapping and control experiments. Many compounds exhibited dramatic antiproliferative activity in 4T1, A549, and HeLa tumor cell lines.
