Popis: The effective difluoromethylations of various S- and O- based- nucleophiles, presenting a wide range of pKa values, using diethyl(bromodifluoromethyl) phosphonate (1) under basic conditions is described. These reactions, which rely on the quantitative generation of difluorocarbene formed through the hydrolysis of 1, were found to be effective only once the starting materials had pKa values of less than ca. 11. Importantly, in cases in which the substrates held two or three nucleophilic centers this feature was successfully implemented to achieve a high chemo- or regioselective difluoromethylation of the center exhibiting the lowest pKa value and the highest polarizability.
