The selective activation of one C−F bond (single activation) of the CF 3 group on cyclopropanes was achieved for the first time. When (trifluoromethyl)cyclopropanes were treated with arenes, allylsilanes, silyl enol ethers, or hydrosilanes in the presence of Me 2 AlCl, fluoride elimination and the subsequent ring opening proceeded to afford 4,4‐difluorohomoallylated products. In the absence of external nucleophiles, an alkyl group of AlR 3 was effectively introduced to provide the corresponding 1,1‐difluoroalkenes.
