We describe a novel transition metal-free method for the synthesis of N-difluoromethylated pyridines and 4-pyridones/quinolones by using readily available ethyl bromodifluoroacetate as a fluorine source. The formation of N-difluoromethylated pyridines involves a two-step process in which N-alkylation by ethyl bromodifluoroacetate is followed by in situ hydrolysis of the ester and decarboxylation. Besides optimizing the N-difluoromethylation conditions and assessing the influence of steric and electronic effects on the outcome of the reaction, we have synthesized the N-difluoromethylated analogues of two fluorophores and demonstrated that their spectroscopic properties can be improved through replacement of N-CH3 group by N-CF2H.

A novel method for the synthesis of N-difluoromethyl-2-pyridones was described. This protocol enables the synthesis of N-difluoromethyl-2-pyridones from readily available pyridines using mild reaction conditions that are compatible with a wide range of functional groups. The preliminary mechanistic study revealed that N-difluoromethylpyridinium salts were the key intermediates to complete this conversion.

A practical, convenient, and general method for the difluoromethylation of tertiary amines, using diethyl bromodifluoromethylphosphonate and fluoride, is described. This commercially available phosphonate smoothly reacts with a fluoride ion to liberate a difluorocarbene intermediate that in the presence of a proton source and a tertiary amine generates the corresponding α-difluoromethylammonium compound in good to excellent yields. Despite the involvement of a difluorocarbene intermediate, this difluoromethylation occurs almost exclusively on the nitrogen atom with diverse molecular structures, including drugs, surfactants, chiral phase transfer catalysts, polymers, ionic liquids, and other fine chemicals. A preliminary assessment of the effects that an α-difluoromethyl groupT has on hydrogen bonding and logP of quaternary ammonium salts is also described.
