Abstract
alpha-Thiophenyl ketones are easily available by the regioselective ri ng-opening of 1-trifluoromethyl-epoxy ethers with phenyl sodium thiola te. Their in situ reduction with NaBH4, followed by oxidation with NaI O4 and thermal decomposition of the resultant sulphoxides, provided al lylic trifluoromethyl alcohols in high overall yield.
