The -difluoroallyl group is a sought-after structural motif commonly found in pharmaceutical compounds. Despite its appeal, achieving a controlled synthesis of both α,α- and γ,γ-difluoroallylated compounds has proven to be a challenging task. This study presents a new approach to difluoroallylation, which utilizes a regiodivergent C-H bond reaction catalyzed by ruthenium catalysis. This method enables the and C-H α,α- and C-H γ,γ-difluoroallylation of arenes using 3-bromo-3,3-difluoropropenes.

The catalytic system generated from the cationic Ru-H complex [(CH)(PCy)(CO)RuH]BF () with 2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone () was found to be highly effective for promoting the deaminative coupling reaction of 2-aminoaryl aldehydes with branched amines to form 2-substituted quinoline products. The analogous deaminative coupling reaction of 2-aminoaryl ketones with branched amines led to the regioselective formation of 2,4-disubstituted quinoline products. A number of biologically active quinoline derivatives including graveolinine and a triplex DNA intercalator have been synthesized by using the catalytic method.

Carboxylates are ideal directing groups because they are widely available, readily cleavable and excellent linchpins for diverse follow-up reactions. However, their use in meta-selective C-H functionalizations remains a substantial unmet catalytic challenge. Herein, we report the ruthenium-catalyzed meta-C-H alkylation of aromatic carboxylic acids with various functionalized alkyl halides.
