TLDR
This new zinc reagent is a free-flowing solid that can be used in combination with a nickel catalyst to difluoromethylate aryl iodides, bromides, and triflates at room temperature.
Abstract
A stable and isolable difluoromethyl zinc reagent has been prepared through the reaction of ICF2H with diethyl zinc and DMPU. This new zinc reagent is a free-flowing solid and can be used in combination with a nickel catalyst to difluoromethylate aryl iodides, bromides, and triflates at room temperature. Such mild conditions for the catalytic difluoromethylation of these substrates are unprecedented.

A new method for aromatic difluoromethylation: copper-catalyzed cross-coupling and decarboxylation sequence from aryl iodides.

TL;DR: A new methodology for aromatic difluoromethylation is described and it is shown that Aryl iodides reacted with α-silyldifluoroacetates upon treatment with copper catalyst in DMSO or DME to give the corresponding aryldif LUacetates in moderate to good yields.
