In summary, we have developed a new synthetic procedure
for the gem-difluoroolefin under mild conditions using the
green photo-driven catalyst, B12-TiO2, at room temperature.
The putative Co-H complex, which was indirectly detected by
the ESR spin-trapping technique, was thought to be an

catalyzed by the B12-TiO2 hybrid may open the door for a new
synthetic methodology in organic synthesis.15 On-going work
in our laboratory is focused on the application of the hybrid
catalyst to develop various organic syntheses with a green
procedure.

Notes and references
‡ No further reduction of the gem-difluoroolefin (2) by the B12-
TiO2 catalyst did not proceed. When the 2 was used as substrate,
almost starting substrate was recovered.
‡‡ Without CoCl2, the reduction of 1 did not proceed. The Co(II)
salt increases the reactivity of the hydride reagent. See: S.-K.

The Co(II)/Co(I) redox couple of the B12 complex, heptamethyl
cobyrinate perchlorate, did not change in the presence of 1 (Fig.

Conduction band (CB) redox potential of TiO2 in CH3CN is -
2.0 V vs. SCE and it is strong enough to reduce the benzyl
radical. See: M. Cherevatskaya, M. Neumann, S. Füldner, C.

§ The number of F- formed by the B12-TiO2 catalyzed reaction
was quantified by the spectrophotometric determination using the

The

§§ The trapped carbon centered radical may come from solvent
MeOH, not from the substrate radical since a similar DMPO-C
signal was observed without 1. (Fig. S5, ESI
