Photoredox Radical Truce–Smiles Rearrangement of <i>N-</i>Sulfinyl Acrylamides with Bromodifluoroacetamides

We herein report a photochemical Truce-Smiles rearrangement reaction of <i>N</i>-sulfinyl acrylamides with bromodifluoroacetamides resulting in the synthesis of a series of aryl difluoroglutaramides in moderate to good yields. The asymmetric synthesis using chiral sulfinamides produced quaternary carbon<i>-</i>centered glutaramide products with a modest enantioselectivity. This protocol effectively complements previous Truce-Smiles rearrangement methods involving <i>N</i>-sulfonyl acrylamides.
