AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method for using light to convert α-fluoroacrylic acids into difluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated compounds has been developed.
  • This approach is versatile, allowing the use of various starting materials and producing specific monofluoroalkenes with a desirable structure under mild conditions.
  • The technique works well with different functional groups, making it useful for modifying complex biological molecules.

Article Abstract

Herein, a novel and practical methodology for the photoinduced decarboxylative difluoroalkylation and perfluoroalkylation of α-fluoroacrylic acids is reported. A wide range of α-fluoroacrylic acids can be used as applicable feedstocks, allowing for rapid access to structurally important difluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated monofluoroalkenes with high Z-stereoselectivity under mild conditions. The protocol demonstrates excellent functional group compatibility and provides a platform for modifying complex biologically active molecules.
