✦ Synopsis
Previously difficult to prepare, aliphatic and alicyclic trifluoromethylketones (e.g. 1 and 2), which are of pharmacalogic interest as potential enzyme inhibitors, can now be synthesized easily and efficiently. The one-step reaction starting with carbonic esters and trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane is induced by tetrabutylammonium fluoride in nonpolar, aprotic solvents and proceeds without formation of double-addition products.
