XDA02020105, XDA02020106), and the Key Research Program of Frontier Sciences (CAS) (No. QYZDJSSW-SLH049).

Wittig gem-difluoroolefination of aldehydes with difluoromethyl phosphonium salt (Ph3P+CF2H·Br-) by using zinc oxide as a base is described. Although the proton in the CF2H group is acidic and a base could easily lead to its deprotonation to form ylide (Ph3P+CF2-), the attack of the base at the positive phosphorus atom may also take place to produce a nucleophilic [HCF2-] equivalent, and then nucleophilic difluoromethylation instead of Wittig reaction would occur. The use of ZnO as the base favored the Wittig reaction and the nucleophilic difluoromethylation was not observed. Furthermore, the excessive ZnO and Zn salts produced from ZnO could be easily removed by filtration, which may be convenient for the purification process.

Key words: Wittig, gem-difluoroolefination, aldehydes, difluoromethyl phosphonium salt, zinc oxide
