Abstract

A regioselective and stereoselective difluoromethylation of enamides with bench-stable and easily accessible difluoromethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide is described. A broad array of synthetically important and geometrically defined β-difluoromethylated enamides bearing various functional groups are obtained with up to 91% yield.
