Difluoromethylation of (hetero)aryl chlorides with chlorodifluoromethane catalyzed by nickel

Transformations with ClCF2H are very limited and normally involve a difluorocarbene intermediate. Here, the authors report a nickel-catalyzed difluoromethylation of aryl chlorides with chlorodifluoromethane via a difluoromethyl radical intermediate and apply the method to the synthesis of marketed p...
