Article Abstract
The three-component reaction offers a convenient method for synthesizing difluorinated compounds. In this review, we classify and discuss synthetic methodologies developed over the past decade (2014-2024) into three categories: (a) radical reactions, (b) difluorocarbene-mediated fluorination, and (c) other reaction types, including those using nucleophilic and electrophilic fluorine reagents. Various reagents such as AgF, pyridine·9HF, Selectfluor II, TMSCF, TMSCFBr, TMSCFPO(OEt), RCF, (CFCO)O, ClCFH, ClCFCONa, CFHSONa, [PhPCFH]Br, ClCFCl, BrCFR, ICFCOAr, and BrCFCOEt will be discussed.

There remains an ongoing challenge to develop facile methods for the preparation of chiral γ,γ-difluorinated amines, which are commonly considered a privileged motif in bioactive compounds. In this context, we report a straightforward protocol for the stereoselective nucleophilic difluoro(sulfoximidoyl)methylation of C═C bonds (considered to be more challenging than the reported C═O bonds), which exhibits high stereoselectivity and broad substrate scope. The key features of this chemistry include 1) stereoselective addition of the difluoro(sulfoximidoyl)methyl anion to C═C bonds, although it was considered to be highly unfavorable from the view of hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) theory; 2) intriguing neighboring group participation of the oxygen from the nitro group that was found to play a crucial role in controlling the stereoselectivity and efficiency of the transformation and was supported by mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations.

Fluorinated compounds are used for agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and numerous industrial applications, resulting in global contamination. In many molecules, fluorine is incorporated to enhance the half-life and improve bioavailability. Fluorinated compounds enter the human body through food, water, and xenobiotics including pharmaceuticals, exposing gut microbes to these substances.

Indoloquinazolinones are widely acknowledged as essential scaffolds for the development of diverse biologically active compounds, pharmaceutical agents, and natural products. Given the critical role of fluorine atoms in enhancing the properties of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, fluorinated indoloquinazolinones exhibit substantial promise in drug discovery and development. Herein, we developed the CPA-catalyzed asymmetric enantioselective [4 + 2]-annulation reactions between 2-aminophenyl enones and 3,3-difluoro-2-aryl-3-indoles.
