Abstract
Herein, we disclose a general method for the assembly of C-allyl glycosides containing gem-difluoroalkene groups via a radical-polar crossover strategy. Central to the success of this process is the polarity matching between the benzenesulfinate radical and the glycosyl donor, which facilitates the initiation of the glycosyl radical and the subsequent formation of gem-difluoroalkene sugar derivatives. This method demonstrated good compatibility with various glycosyl donors and functional groups. Furthermore, we showcase the utility of this method in modifying amino acids, potentially paving the way for analogous modifications to peptides.

Abstract
This present review delineates the repertoire of vinyl cyclopropanes and their stuctural analogues to accomplish a wide array of oxa-cycles, aza-cycles, and thia-cycles under transition metal catalysis and metal-free approaches from early 2019 to the present date. The generation of electrophilic π-allyl intermediates and 1-3/1-5-dipolarophile chemistry originating from VCPs are always green, step- and atom-economical and sustainable strategies in comparsion with prefunctionalized and/or C-H activation protocols. Here, the strained ring-system extends its applicability by relieving the strain to undergo a ring-expansion reaction to accomplish 5-9 membered carbo- and heterocyclic systems. The availability of chiral ligands in the ring-expansion reaction of VCPs and their analogues has paved the way to realizing asymmetric synthetic transformations.

Abstract
The use of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes (gem-DFCPs) as fluoroallyl surrogates under transition-metal catalysis has drawn considerable attention recently but such reactions are restricted to producing achiral or racemic mono-fluoroalkenes. Herein, we report the first enantioselective allylation of indoles under rhodium catalysis with gem-DFCPs. This reaction shows exceptional branched regioselectivity towards rhodium catalysis with gem-DFCPs, which provides an efficient route to enantioenriched fluoroallylated indoles with wide substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.

Abstract
Fluorinated compounds are a staple of modern-day chemical innovation, and efficient strategies for their synthesis are highly valuable. In this chemical space, fluoroalkenes continue to be the object of much interest across diverse fields, including drug development and pharmaceuticals with active roles as bioisosteres. Herein, in expanding chemists' synthetic toolbox for constructing valuable organofluorine compounds, we report a "pipeline" strategy for the synthesis of fluorinated olefins, viz., gem-difluoroalkenyl and monofluoroalkenyl arenes with high E-isomeric selectivity. The advantages of this streamlined synthetic protocol include mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and good to excellent yields, even at gram scales. Critical to this robust procedure is the use of widely available and inexpensive "scavenger" solid-support Merrifield peptide resin for removing phosphine impurities. Further computational investigations offering clarity into this reactivity are disclosed.

Abstract
Transition-metal (TM) catalyzed reaction of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes (gem-DFCPs) has drawn much attention recently. The reaction generally occurs via the activation of the distal C─C bond in gem-DFCPs by a low-valent TM through oxidative addition, eventually producing mono-fluoro olefins as the coupling products. However, achieving regioselective activation of the proximal C─C bond in gem-DFCPs that overcomes the intrinsic reactivity via TM catalysis remains elusive. Here, a new reaction mode of gem-DFCPs enabled by high-valent copper catalysis, which allows exclusive activation of the congested proximal C─C bond is presented. The reaction that achieves fluoroarylation of gem-DFCPs uses NFSI (N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide) as electrophilic fluoro reagent and arenes as the C─H nucleophiles, enabling the synthesis of diverse CF3-containing scaffolds. It is proposed that a high-valent copper species plays an important role in the regioselective activation of the proximal C─C bond possibly via a σ-bond metathesis.

Abstract
In recent years, the application of fluorinated alcohols as solvents, cosolvents, or additives has become important in modern organic synthesis. However, their potential as efficient catalysts in organic synthesis has not been well-explored. In this article, we report on the development of a one-pot sequential cascade reaction of p-quinone methides with difluoroenoxysilanes using hexafluoroisopropanol as catalyst. This reaction allows for the preparation of fluorinated multisubstituted oxa-spiro[4,5]cyclohexadienones. By using 50 mol % 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), the reaction proceeds smoothly to yield 1,6-conjugated products, which are then subjected to oxidative dearomatization/hemiacetalization using PhI(OAc)2. The overall process affords moderate to high yields and excellent diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Difluoroenoxysilane, a commonly used difluoroallylating reagent, has attracted considerable attention in recent years. However, its application in the annulation reaction for the construction of fluorinated heterocyclic compounds remains relatively limited. Presented here is the Brønsted acid-catalyzed efficient formal [4 + 2] annulation of difluoroenoxysilanes with α-cyano chalcones. The developed protocol demonstrates tolerance to various substituents under mild reaction conditions, providing a reliable approach to construct gem-difluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans in good to excellent yields with high diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Controllable fluorocarbon chain elongation (CFCE) is a promising yet underdeveloped strategy for the well-defined synthesis of structurally novel polyfluorinated compounds. Herein, the direct and efficient trifluorovinylation and pentafluorocyclopropylation of aldehydes are described by using TMSCF2Br (TMS = trimethylsilyl) as the sole fluorocarbon source, accomplishing the goals of CFCE from C1 to C2 and from C1 to C3, respectively. The key to the success of these CFCE processes lies in the unique and diversified chemical reactivity of TMSCF2Br, which can serve as two different precursors, namely, a TMSCF2 radical precursor and a difluorocarbene precursor. Various functional groups are amenable to this new synthetic protocol, providing streamlined access to a broad range of alcohols containing trifluorovinyl or pentafluorocyclopropyl moieties from abundantly available aldehydes. The potential utility of these methods is further demonstrated by the gram-scale synthesis, derivatization, and measurement of log P values of the products.

Abstract
Developing new strategies to enable chemo- and regioselective reductions is an important topic in chemical research. Herein, an efficient and regioselective Pd/IPrBIDEA-catalyzed ring-opening hydrodefluorination of gem-difluorocyclopropanes to access terminal fluoroalkenes is developed. The success of this transformation was attributed to the use of 3,3-dimethylallyl Bpin as a novel hydride donor. DFT calculations suggest that a direct 3,4'-hydride transfer via a 9-membered cyclic transition state is more favorable, which combined with the irreversibility of the reaction enables the unusual selectivity for the less thermodynamically stable terminal alkene isomer. This reaction mode is also applicable to a variety of regioselective allylic and propargyl reductions.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed protoarylation of gem-difluoroallenes with aryl boronic esters has been developed, enabling highly regioselective synthesis of gem-difluoroalkenes in high yields. The mild reaction conditions allow for a variety of functional groups to be tolerated, and the reaction can be extended to protoalkenylation of gem-difluoroallenes. The synthetic utility of this method has been demonstrated in gram-scale operation as well as synthesis of chiral gem-difluoroalkenes bearing γ-carbon stereogenic centers in moderate enantioselectivity using a chiral bidentate phosphine ligand with a copper catalyst.

Abstract
Divergent synthesis of fluorine-containing scaffolds starting from a suite of raw materials is an intriguing topic. Herein, we report the solvent-controlled rhodium-catalyzed tunable arylation of 1-bromo-2,2-difluoroethylene. The selection of the reaction solvents provides switchable defluorinated or debrominated arylation from readily available feedstock resources (both arylboronic acids/esters and 1-bromo-2,2-difluoroethylene are commercially available). This switch is feasible because of the difference in coordination ability between the solvent (CH2 Cl2 or CH3 CN) and the rhodium center, resulting in different olefin insertion. This protocol allows the convenient synthesis of monofluoroalkenes and gem-difluoroalkenes, both of which are important scaffolds in the fields of medicine and materials. Moreover, this newly developed solvent-regulated reaction system can be applied to the site-selective dechlorinated arylation of trichloroethylene. Overall, this study provides a useful strategy for the divergent synthesis of fluorine-containing scaffolds and provides insight into the importance of solvent selection in catalytic reactions.

The flexible yet sterically hindered N,N'-bis(2,6-di(4-heptyl)phenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene ligand plays a key role in ensuring the high reaction efficiency. In addition, sterically hindered 1,1- and 1,2-disubstituted gem-difluorocyclopropanes could also be used in this transformation.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative aryl-difluoroallylation reaction of indoles with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes as an electrophilic coupling partner. The reaction proceeds via a cascade sequence involving dearomative Heck cyclization and reductive allylic defluorination. A series of gem-difluoroallyl substituted indolines are obtained in moderate to good yields (36-77% yield) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The reaction features broad functional group tolerance, scaled-up synthesis, and late-stage diversification.

Abstract
A photocatalytic hydroalkoxylation reaction enables the coupling of aliphatic alcohols with gem-difluoroalkenes, expanding the scope of accessible α,α-difluorinated ethers, a desirable substructure for medicinal and agricultural chemists. This reaction exploits an uncommon diselenide co-catalyst to facilitate the net hydrofunctionalization process, which contrasts alternate single-electron reactions that deliver dioxidation products. Future use of this co-catalyst might enable other currently unknown photocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
A photocatalytic three-component reaction of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes, electron-rich alkenes, and sodium sulfinates for the synthesis of gem-difluoroalkenes in a radical/polar crossover manner was developed. Due to the strong electron-withdrawing nature of the sulfonyl group, the resultant gem-difluoroalkenes can be converted into various monofluorocyclopentenes via intramolecular base-mediated SNV reactions in one pot.

Abstract
In recent years, methyl formate has received considerable attention as an ideal and green C1 building block to synthesize carboxylic esters. However, examples of a one-step route to esters with one-carbon elongation using methyl formate as a source of methoxycarbonyl radical are still rare. Herein, we present peroxide-induced radical carbonylation of N-(2-methylallyl)benzamides with methyl formate as the precursor of methoxycarbonyl radical and RuCl3 as catalyst, affording a series of biologically valuable 4-[(methoxycarbonyl)methyl]-3,4-dihydroisoquinolinones with good tolerance and insensitivity to moisture in one pot under simple and mild conditions.

Abstract
An organic photoredox-catalyzed gem-difluoroallylation of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes with alkyl iodides via C-F bond cleavage for the synthesis of gem-difluoroalkene derivatives is reported. This transition-metal-free transformation utilized a readily available organic dye 4CzIPN as the sole photocatalyst and employed a common chemical N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine as the radical activator of alkyl iodides via halogen-atom transfer. In addition, a variety of iodides, including primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl iodides, were tolerated and provided good to high yields.

Abstract
A photochemical approach for the preparation of α-keto-N-acyl sulfoximines from NH sulfoximines and gem-difluoroalkenes has been developed. In the presence of NBS, the reactions proceed in air without the need of a photocatalyst or additional oxidant. Results of mechanistic studies suggest that the two oxygens in the products stem from water and dioxygen.

]]>
CF2) species was formed smoothly. Then, a migratory insertion/β-H elimination process enabled access to polycyclic indolines containing 1,1-difluoroethylene units in acceptable yields with a broad substrate scope, which also showed dearomative gem-difluorovinylation for the first time. Remarkably, the superb diversified transformations allowed the product to install various functional groups. Dearomative gem-difluorovinylation was reported for the first time and provided a new way to construct complex organofluorine compounds rapidly.![]()

Abstract
The reactivity of vinyl epoxides/oxetanes/cyclopropanes toward arynes has been demonstrated under mild conditions to give the corresponding phenanthrenes in moderate to good yields. This transition-metal-free cascade process involves a series of Diels-Alder reaction, ring-opening aromatization, and ene reaction. Various functionalized phenanthrenes could be synthesized utilizing the versatile hydroxy group. Interestingly, vinyl epoxides/oxiranes experience preferentially the Diels-Alder reaction toward arynes over nucleophilic attack of epoxides/oxiranes.

Abstract
We have developed a high-efficiency and practical Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling to directly construct versatile α-aryl-esters by utilizing readily available aryl bromides (or chlorides) and malonates. These gram-scale approaches occur with turnovers of up to 1560 and are smoothly conducted by the usage of a low catalyst loading, a new available ligand, and a green solvent. A variety of functional groups are tolerated, and the application occurs with α-aryl-esters to access nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the gram scale.

Abstract
Here, we report a mild and highly efficient approach to alkyl oxazoles through merging gold/copper catalysis and copper/photoredox catalysis. Various alkyl oxazoles are synthesized from N-propargylamides with alkyl halides in good to excellent yields with wide functional-group compatibility under blue-light irradiation. Significantly, a copper catalyst plays a dual role in this transformation: as a powerful cocatalyst to accelerate protodeauration of vinyl gold intermediates and improve photoredox catalysis.

Abstract
Here we report a mild and general method for the trifluoromethylthiolation of aldehydes using N-trifluoromethylthiosaccharin as the CF3S radical source and sodium decatungstate (NaDT) as the photocatalyst. This reaction proceeds via hydrogen atom abstraction by photoactivated DT and features good functional groups and substrate tolerance. Generally, electron-rich aldehydes demonstrate better reactivity than electron-deficient ones and good selectivity is observed for the trifluoromethylthiolation of aldehydic C-H bonds over tertiary and benzylic C-H bonds. Preliminary mechanistic studies have shown that a free radical process is involved.

Abstract
The photolysis of diazoalkanes to conduct singlet carbene transfer reactions of colored diazoalkanes has recently attracted significant interest in organic synthesis. Herein, we describe a photocatalytic approach that allows the access of triplet carbene intermediates via energy transfer to conduct highly efficient gem‐difluoroolefination reactions with α‐trifluoromethyl styrenes. The use of a tertiary amines proved pivotal to unlock this unusual reaction pathway and to prevent undesired cyclopropanation pathways. The amine further facilitates the ultimate abstraction of fluoride to yield gem‐difluoroolefins (43 examples, up to 88 % yield), which is supported by experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies. We explored this synthesis method with a broad substrate scope, ranging from simple olefins and heterocyclic olefins towards the decoration of pharmaceutically relevant building blocks.

Abstract
A practical and mild method for the switchable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via selective oxidation of sulfides using cheap N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as the oxidant has been developed. These highly chemoselective transformations were simply achieved by varying the NFSI loading with H2O as the green solvent and oxygen source without any additives. The good functional group tolerance makes the strategy valuable.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is the first carbene-organocatalyzed asymmetric addition of phosphine nucleophiles to the in situ generated α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates. Our reaction enantioselectively constructs carbon-phosphine bonds and prepares chiral phosphines with high optical purities. The phosphine products are suitable for transforming to chiral ligands or catalysts with applications in asymmetric catalysis. The diarylalkyl or trialkyl phosphine products from our catalytic reactions, air-sensitive and reactive in nature, can be trapped (and stored) in their sulfur-oxidized form for operational simplicities.

Abstract
The iron-catalyzed δ-C(sp3)-H bond difluoromethylthiolation and difluoromethylselenation of aliphatic amides with high site selectivity are reported. Essential to the success is the employment of an amide radical formed in situ to activate the inert C(sp3)-H bond and the utilization of the easily handled PhSO2SCF2H and PhSO2SeCF2H as coupling reagents under mild conditions. This scalable protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope bearing versatile functional groups. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds through -SCF2H and -SeCF2H radical transfer.

Abstract
We have developed a methodology for the greatly efficient construction of significant 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran scaffolds bearing a quaternary carbon center at the C2 position by means of [4 + 1] annulation reactions between p-quinone methides and α-aryl diazoacetates as C1 synthons through organocatalysis by readily accessible TfOH catalyst under mild and transition metal-free conditions. This metal-free protocol furnishes an operationally simple and swift process for the free assembly of diverse highly functionalized 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans and also features broad substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility, and environmental friendliness. Mechanistic investigation suggested that the reaction undergoes a rapid cascade protonation/intermolecular Michael addition/intramolecular substitution process.
