Peroxide-Initiated Hydrophosphinylation of <i>gem</i>-Difluoroalkenes.

ABSTRACT: The installation of fluorine and fluorinated functional groups into drug-like scaffolds can perturb the physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic properties of compounds. However, some potentially useful fluorinated substructures reside predominantly outside the realm of the current synthetic methodologies. One such substructure, the α,α-difluorophosphine oxide, might be convergently prepared by the reaction of a gem-difluorinated alkene with a P-H bond, though such nucleophilic reactions instead proceed through a C-F substitution pathway that delivers monofluorovinyl products. In contrast, we report a peroxide-initiated hydrophosphinylation reaction of gem-difluoroalkenes that avoids C-F substitution and produces a wide range of α,α-difluorophosphine oxides and f
