Under specific high concentration, high temperature conditions, methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate (MDFA) has been found to act as a very efficient source of difluorocarbene, exhibiting carbene reactivity characteristics comparable to those exhibited by trimethylsilyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate (TFDA). For example, in reaction with highly unreactive n-butyl acrylate and using only 2 equiv of MDFA, a yield of 76% of difluorocyclopropane product was obtained after 2 days.
