Synthesis of aryldifluoromethyl aryl ethers via nickel-catalyzed suzuki cross-coupling between aryloxydifluoromethyl bromides and boronic acids - Communications Chemistry

Aryldifluoromethyl aryl ethers (ArCF2OAr’) are powerful structural motifs to improve druggability, however, their targeted synthesis remains challenging. Here, the authors report the efficient synthesis of ArCF2OAr’ motifs via nickel-catalyzed aryloxydifluoromethylation with arylboronic acids, and …
