A method for the difluorohomologation of ketones accompanied by halogenation of a C-H bond is described. The reaction involves silylation, difluorocarbene addition using Me3SiCF2Br activated by a bromide ion, and halogenation of intermediate cyclopropanes with N-bromo- or N-iodosuccinimide. The whole process is performed without isolation of intermediates. The resulting α,α-difluoro-β-halo-substituted ketones can be readily converted into fluorine containing pyrazole derivatives and oxetanes.

A method for the homologation of ketones with the CF2 fragment is described. The reaction involves silylation, room-temperature difluorocyclopropanation of silyl enol ethers, and selective ring opening of cyclopropanes under acidic conditions. The whole three-step sequence is conveniently performed in a one-pot mode.
