Herein, we report a modular catalytic technique that streamlines the preparation of <i>gem</i>-difluoroalkanes from unactivated <i>sp</i><sup>3</sup> precursors. The method is characterized by its simplicity, generality, and site selectivity, including the functionalization of advanced intermediates and olefin feedstocks. Our approach is enabled by a cooperative interplay of halogen- and hydrogen-atom transfer, thus offering a new entry point to difluorinated alkyl bioisosteres of interest in dr ...[more]
