The use of TFEDMA, a fluoroalkyl amino reagent, for the difluoromethylation and difluoroacylation of arenes, heteroarenes, and C-H acidic compounds is reported. This approach allows for an efficient access to difluoromethylated products of high added value in good to excellent yields and with scale-up possibilities.
