Article Abstract
We describe a visible light-induced palladium-catalyzed radical germylative arylation of alkenes with easily accessible chlorogermanes. This protocol provides expedient access to germanium-substituted indolin-2-ones in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The key step for this strategy lies in the reductive activation of germanium-chloride bonds with an excited palladium complex under visible light irradiation. The involvement of germanium radicals was evidenced by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments.

We report a visible-light-driven, palladium-catalyzed 1,4-difluoromethylative functionalization of conjugated dienes using chlorodifluoromethane (ClCFH, Freon-22) as a cost-effective difluoromethyl source. The excited palladium catalyst efficiently reduces the C-Cl bond, which generates a CFH radical, followed by regioselective S2' substitution to afford 1,4-difunctionalized products. This versatile, redox-neutral method accommodates diverse nucleophiles and exhibits broad functional group compatibility, making it suitable for late-stage functionalization in drug discovery and offering a direct route to difluoromethylated molecules.

Multicomponent radical tandem reactions have emerged as a crucial technique for synthesizing complex molecules in organic chemistry. In this study, we report a palladium-catalyzed four-component difluoroalkylative carbonylation of enynes and ethyl difluoroiodoacetate. This transformation proceeds through a multistep sequential reaction that introduces reactive difluoro and carbonyl groups while constructing the benzofuran skeleton.
