Bromodifluoromethylation reagents 1 can be used during electrophilic difluoromethylation for sp 3 carbon nucleophiles mediated by organic bases. Allylic difluoromethylation of dicyanoalkylidens proceeds nicely by 1 in the presence of P 1 base to give CF 2 H instead of CF 2 Br products in high to excellent yields. A wide range of β‐ketoesters are also efficiently reacted with 1 , mediated by DBU to provide CCF 2 H compounds as major products with a small amount of OCF 2 H products in high to excellent yields.
