Abstract A highly selective nickel-catalyzed monodefluorinative alkylcarbonylation between α-trifluoromethyl substituted styrenes and alkylzinc pivalates under 1 atm of CO gas is disclosed, thus providing an expedient approach to the synthesis of polyfunctionalized gem-difluoroalkenes under mild reaction conditions. Control experiments highlight the superior reactivity of alkylzinc pivalates compared to the conversional alkylzinc halides. Moreover, this method is distinguished by its ample scope and facile derivatizations of the resulting products for increasing functional molecular complexity via sequence defluorinative strategy.
