The utility of chloroform as both a solvent and a hydrogen atom donor in Barton reductive decarboxylation of a range of carboxylic acids was recently demonstrated (Ko, E. J. et al. Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1944). In the present work, a combination of electronic structure calculations, direct dynamics calculations, and experimental studies was carried out to investigate how chloroform acts as a hydrogen atom donor in Barton reductive decarboxylations and to determine the scope of this process. The results from this study show that hydrogen atom transfer from chloroform occurs directly under kinetic control and is aided by a combination of polar effects and quantum mechanical tunneling. Chloroform acts as an effective hydrogen atom donor for primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals, although significant chlorination was also observed with unstrained tertiary carboxylic acids.

Various alkyl radicals generated by the photoreaction of a series of Barton esters reacted with 1,1-dichloro-2,2-difluoroethene to give radical adducts as the major product accompanied with self-trapping products. Primary, secondary, tertiary, benzyl, and some unsaturated alkyl radicals as well as those with another functional group such as ether, carbonyl, and azide were applicable. Barton esters of diacids also afford 1:2 adducts with a small amount of 1:1 adducts and bis-self-trapping products except for the succinic case. These adducts were hydrolyzed with AgNO3/H2O-THF to α,α-difluoroalkanecarboxylic acids and methanolyzed with AgNO3/MeOH to the corresponding methyl esters. 4-Azido-2,2-difluorobutylic acid and the methyl ester were converted to difluoro-GABA and difluoro-γ-lactams.
