Visible-light mediated stereospecific C(sp2)–H difluoroalkylation of (Z)-aldoximes†
Abstract
A visible light mediated stereospecific C(sp2)–H difluoroalkylation of (Z)-aldoximes to (E)-difluoroalkylated ketoximes has been described. In this reaction, (hetero)-aromatic and aliphatic difluoroalkylated ketoximes could be obtained with the retention of the configuration of the starting aldoximes. A preliminary mechanism study showed that a difluoromethyl radical via an SET pathway was involved.
