N2 - An expedient ex-situ generation of difluoroiodomethane (DFIM) and its immediate use in a Pd-catalyzed difluoromethylation of aryl boronic acids and ester derivatives in a two-chamber reactor is reported. Heating a solution of bromodifluoroacetic acid with sodium iodide in sulfolane proved to be effective for the generation of near stoichiometric amounts of DFIM for the ensuing catalytic coupling step. A two-step difluoromethylation of aryl (pseudo)halides with tetrahydroxydiboron as a low-cost reducing agent, both promoted by Pd catalysis, proved effective to install this fluorine-containing C1 group onto several pharmaceutically relevant molecules. Finally, the method proved adaptable to deuterium incorporation by simply adding D2O to the DFIM-generating chamber.
