title: Pd-Catalyzed Transfer of Difluorocarbene.
abstract: The study of transition-metal difluorocarbene complex has long been a subject of active investigation, but the transition-metal-catalyzed transfer of difluorocarbene remains a significant challenge. The Pd-catalyzed transfer of difluorocarbene is described to realize the coupling reaction of boronic acids with difluorocarbene to give (difluoromethyl)arenes and -olefins. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the Pd═CF2 complex is an important intermediate for this transformation. This complex is prone to trimerization without the presence of starting materials.
