ABSTRACT
A simple and efficient protocol for difluoromethylation of isoflavones, flavonoids, and coumarins has been developed. The protocol uses readily available, non-ozone-depleting and easy handling BrCF2PO(OEt)2 as difluorocarbene precursor. The reaction underwent the formation of difluorocarbene under mild reaction conditions with relatively weak base therefore demonstrates high selectivity. Application of the reaction led to difluoromethylated biologically relevant molecules.
