A selective three-component 1,4-difluoroalkylesterification of 1-aryl-1,3-dienes enabled by dual photoredox and copper catalysis is described. This protocol uses commercially available CF-reagents as radical precursors and carboxylic acids as oxygen-based nucleophiles, providing access to difluoroalkylated allylic esters. This protocol could be extended to intramolecular two-component 1,4-difluoroalkylesterification to access 3-substituted benzobutyrolactones. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a radical process.
