Electrochemical synthesis of functionalized gem -difluoroalkenes with diverse alkyl sources via a defluorinative alkylation process

An electrochemical defluorinative alkylation of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes is described. This reaction enables the preparation of functionalized gem -difluoroalkenes with diverse alkyl sources including organohalides, NHP esters, and Katritzky salts.
