Popis: The first gold-catalyzed photoredox C(sp(2) )-H difluoroalkylation and perfluoroalkylation of hydrazones with readily available RF -Br reagents is reported. The resulting gem-difluoromethylated and perfluoroalkylated hydrazones are highly functionalized, versatile molecules. A mild reduction of the coupling products can efficiently produce gem-difluoromethylated β-amino phosphonic acids and β-amino acid derivatives. In mechanistic studies, a difluoroalkyl radical intermediate was detected by an EPR spin-trapping experiment, indicating that a gold-catalyzed radical pathway is operating.
