A general and facile synthetic method for C(sp2)–H difluoroalkylations and perfluoroalkylations of alkenes and (hetero)arenes with commercially available fluoroalkyl halides has been developed with a copper-amine catalyst system. This method is characterized by high yields, mild reaction conditions, low-cost catalyst, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group compatibility, therefore providing a convenient synthetic strategy toward various difluoroalkyl- and perfluoroalkyl-substituted alkenes and (hetero)arenes.
