β¦ Synopsis
Hemiaminals of trifluoroacetaldehyde are new trifluoromethylating agents. These reagents are synthesised from amines and gaseous trifluoroaeetaldehyde, tBuONa is able to deprotonate the hemiaminals to form trifluoromethyl anion equivalents CF3CH(O')NMe 2. The trifluoromethyl anion has been transferred from such intermediates to benzaldehyde yielding phenyl (trifluoromethyl) methanol.

New reagents for the nucleophilic trifluoromethylation have been easily synthesized from fluoral hemiketal. They provide silylated trifluoromethylcarbinol from non-enolizable carbonyl compounds.
