We report a trifluoromethylarene reductive coupling method that dramatically expands the scope of difluorobenzylic substructures accessible <i>via</i> C-F bond functionalization. Catalytic quantities of a Lewis base, combined with a disilane reagent in formamide solvent, promotes the replacement of a single trifluoromethyl fluorine atom with a silylated hemiaminal functional group. The reaction proceeds through a difluorobenzyl silane intermediate that can also be isolated. Together, these deflu ...[more]
