Both organofluorine and organosilicon compounds are one of the most important types of high-tech product in elementorganic chemistry, and have been received much attetions in the past decades. Considering the imporatance of difluoroethanol moeity in pesticides, the development of a mild and efficient copper-catalyzed arylated etherification reaction of difluoroethanol is highly desirable. Herein, a mild and efficient method for the preparation of difluoroethyl aryl ethers was developed by the copper-catalyzed Ullmann-type arylated etherification reaction of aryl bromides or iodides with 2,2-difluoroethanol. This reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of CuI and 8-hydroxyquinoline/t-BuOK, and has a broad substrate scope. ESI-MS analysis supported the existence of LCu(Ⅲ)Ar(OR) species during this catalytic reaction. Further density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest a proposed mechanism of arylated etherification reaction involving oxidative addition, followed by nucleophile substitution and reductive elimination would be rational.
