We report a general difluoromethylenation of various types of ketones using diethyl (difluoro(trimethylsilyl)methyl)phosphonate mediated by the combination of 18-crown-6 and KOAc. It provides facile access to structurally diverse β-hydroxy-α,α-difluorophosphonates as interesting targets for medicinal research.

Diethyl (difluoro(trimethylsilyl)methyl)phosphonate enables facile access to diverse -hydroxy-,-difluorophosphonates, offering potential targets for medicinal research.
