In the presence of In/CuCl, ethyl 4‐bromo‐4,4‐difluoro‐3‐oxo‐2‐(triphenylphosphoranylidene)butanoate reacted with various aldehydes in aqueous medium at room temperature to give the α , α ‐difluorinated β ‐hydroxy carbonyl compounds. Furthermore, treating Reformatsky addition compounds with 1 equiv. of sodium hydroxide in the mixture of tetrahydrofuran and water afforded gem ‐di?uoromethylenated 2‐triphenylphosphoranylidene δ ‐lactones in excellent yields.
