Ki. Pashkevich et al., SYNTHESIS OF FLUOROALKYL-CONTAINING BETA-HYDROXYKETONES BY REDUCTION OF THE CORRESPONDING BETA-DIKETONE DERIVATIVES, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(6), 1996, pp. 1423-1424
The regioselective synthesis of fluoroalkyl-containing beta-hydroxyket
ones by the reduction of the salts of the corresponding beta-diketones
with LiAlH4 was proposed. This is the sole method for the synthesis o
f beta-hydroxyketones with two fluoroalkyl substituents.
