gem-Difluorocyclopropane derivatives react with allyltributylstannane in the presence of 2,2鈥?azobis(isobutyronitrile) to afford 1,6-dienes with a gem-difluoromethylene moiety at the allylic position. The reaction proceeds regioselectively with high yields, and the 1,6-dinenes obtained are good precursors for cyclic systems containing a gem-difluoromethylene moiety. Although S-methyl carbonodithioate also works as a leaving group, rearrangement of the leaving group competes with the desired allylation, depending on the amount of allyltributylstannane.
