83. We consider radical adddition of α-aminoalkyl radical to gem-difluoroalkenes followed by based-mediated fluoride elimination to be a less likely pathway but it cannot be ruled out absolutely:

85. C. L. Bumgardner, J. P. Burgess, Tetrahedron Lett. 1992, 33, 1683–1686. Also, we found that the radical addition of a highly nucleophilic α-THF radical to 2 a for the synthesis of compound 22 is rather sluggish (the same reaction conditions with 18 b at 80 °C for 48 hours, only 2 % yield).
