Abstract
The synthesis of medicinally relevant α-difluoroalkylated amines by an iridium-catalyzed reductive alkylation of tertiary amides and lactams with difluoro-Reformatsky reagents, is described. This report features the introduction of various geminal difluoro-acetates and -acetamides as well as late stage derivatization of APIs, gram scale synthesis and downstream functionalizations.
