Photo- and acid-mediated repurposing of Grushin's reagent enables efficient difluoromethylation of alcohols, saccharides, and bioactive molecules, generating antifungal leads.

Novel decarboxylative metal-halogen exchange mechanism enables mild carboxylation of aryl halides using bench-stable potassium carboxylate salts without pressurized equipment or organometallic.

Chemical recycling method converts hydrofluorocarbons into usable fluoride sources through transfer fluorination, enabling synthesis of diverse fluorinated molecules at industrial scale.

Photoredox-catalyzed deoxytrifluoromethoxylation installs OCF3 groups on phenols via in situ difluorophosgene generation and aryl carbonofluoridate activation.
