A method for the O-difluoromethylation of carboxylic acids using commercially available TMSCF2Br is disclosed. The devised benchtop reaction system is air-stable and offers mild reaction conditions while using readily available reagents and sol

Difluoromethyl alkanoates 5 and fluorinated and nonfluorinated alkanesulfonates 9 were synthesized in moderate yields by the reaction of alkali metal salts of acids with fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetic acid (3) in acetonitrile under mild conditions.The presumed intermediate anion FO2SCF2CO2- generates CF2: by elimination of SO2, CO2, and F-.The esters are formed by insertion of CF2: into the O-H of the acid, whereas HCF3 is formed by the competing capture of F-.Organic acids can be used indirectly in the reaction in the presence of inorganic salts such as Na2SO4 and KCl, with comparable yields of difluoromethyl esters.
