Photoredox-catalyzed direct C(sp²)–H difluoromethylation of enamides or heterocycles with [bis(difluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene

Abstract

A photoredox-catalyzed direct C(sp 2 )–H difluoromethylation of enamides and heterocycles is accomplished by using easily accessible [bis(difluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene as the CF 2 H source.
