General description

Difluoroaceticacid is a monocarboxylic acid and an organofluorine compound. Difluoroaceticacid is easy-to-handle reagent, useful for obtaining difluoromethyl substituents. Difluoroacetic acid can be used asdifluoromethylating reagent for the direct C−H difluoromethylation ofheteroaromatic compounds.

Application

Used in the preparation of 2-difluoromethylbenzimidazoles, -oxazoles and -thiazoles from ortho-substituted anilines mediated by triphenylphoshine.
