PhSCF2SiMe3has been demonstrated as difluoromethyl carbanion synthon (-CF2H). It reacts chemoselectively with α- and γ-ketoesters at the keto group in the presence of a catalytic amount of TBAF in THF to give the corresponding α-hydroxy ester adducts as well as γ-gem-difluorophenylsulfanylmethylated...
