Selective transformation of C-F bonds remains a significant goal in organic chemistry, but C-F insertion of a one-carbon-atom unit has never been established. Herein we report the BF3-catalyzed formal insertion of diazo esters as one-carbon-atom sources into C-F bonds to accomplish one-carbon elongation of benzylic fluorides. A DFT calculation study revealed that the BF3 catalyst could contribute to both C-F bond cleavage and re-formation. This elongation provided α-fluoro-α,β-diaryl esters with a high level of diastereoselectivity. Various benzylic fluorides and diazo esters were applicable. The synthetic utility of this method was demonstrated by the synthesis of a fluoro analogue of a compound that is used as a transient receptor and potential canonical channel inhibitor.
