Abstract
An α‐difluoroalkylation of benzyl amines with trifluoromethylarenes is disclosed herein. This protocol is characterized by its operational simplicity, excellent chemoselectivity and broad scope—even with advanced synthetic intermediates—, thus offering a new entry point to medicinally‐relevant α‐difluoroalkylated amines from simple, yet readily accessible, precursors.
