HCF2Se/HCF2S Installation by Tandem Substitutions from Alkyl Bromides.

Published in: The Journal of organic chemistry (2021)

Herein we describe an efficient construction of HCF2Se and HCF2S groups by tandem substitutions between alkyl bromides and a reagent system consisting of MSeCN (or MSCN) and Ph3P+CF2H Br-. The tandem process occurs via the first nucleophilic substitution of alkyl bromides by -SeCN (or -SCN) and the subsequent nucleophilic difluoromethylation.
