β¦ Synopsis
Cesium Fluoride Catalyzed Trifluoromethylation of Esters, Aldehydes, and Ketones with (Trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane.
-The title reaction is successfully applied to carboxylic, sulfonic, sulfinic, and selenic esters, and also to aldehydes and ketones, among them substrates that have been reported in the literature to be unreactive. The silyl ether intermediates, obtained from the reaction of carboxylic acids, aldehydes, or ketones with Tms-CF 3 in the presence of CsF catalyst, are hydrolyzed with HCl to give ketones or alcohols, respectively. It is found that no solvent is required for the reaction of low boiling substrates and DME can be used for solids or some high boiling liquids.
