4-exo-trig Cyclization reaction of a 4-pentenyl carbon radical containing the gem-difluoromethylene moiety adjacent to a radical accepting α,β-unsaturated ester was found to proceed efficiently to furnish a novel gem-difluorocyclobutane derivative. The cyclized product could be transformed into a gem-difluoromethylene analogue
