Abstract

A practical synthesis of new β-difluoromethoxy vinyl sulfones has been explored by O-difluoromethylation of β-ketosulfones using the inexpensive and easily workable sodium chlorodifluoroacetate as a difluorocarbene precursor. The strategy is convenient and regioselective, and features an adequate substrate scope and functional group tolerance.
