Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The catalytic difluoromethylation of arylzinc reagents with difluoroiodomethane in the presence of Pd<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>(dba)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>/Xantphos is described to produce difluoromethyl products. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the oxidative addition of difluoroiodomethane to [(Xantphos)Pd<jats:sup>0</jats:sup>] provides <jats:italic>trans</jats:italic>‐[(Xantphos)Pd<jats:sup>II</jats:sup>(I)CF<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H], which is subsequently transformed to <jats:italic>cis</jats:italic>‐[(Xantphos)Pd<jats:sup>II</jats:sup>(Ph)CF<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H] through transmetalation of phenylzinc. Next, reductive elimination occurs (<jats:italic>t</jats:italic><jats:sub>1/2</jats:sub>=44.7 min at −10 °C) to give PhCF<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H. The structural changes in [(Xantphos)Pd<jats:sup>II</jats:sup>(Ph)CF<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H] from <jats:italic>trans</jats:italic> to <jats:italic>cis</jats:italic> facilitates reductive elimination of PhCF<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H.</jats:p>
