Intramolecular charge–charge repulsion rather than traditional steric control is responsible for the high diastereoselectivity (up to 94 % de ) obtained in t BuOK‐induced difluoromethylenation of aldehydes 1 with difluoromethyl phenyl sulfone ( 2 ) to give symmetrical and unsymmetrical anti ‐2,2‐difluoropropane‐1,3‐diols 3 .
