A synthetic challenge : a two‐step conversion of RCF 2 Br into RCF 2 Nu has been achieved (see scheme; Nu=nucleophile). Nucleophilic substitution at a difluoromethylene carbon atom is carried out by using a functionalized difluoroallene as a CF 2 cation equivalent. The resulting product contains a triisopropylsilyl (TIPS)–acetylenic linkage suitable for further functionalization.
