Hp. Guan et al., PREPARATION AND REACTION OF 3,3,3-TRIFLUOROPROPIONDITHIOACETALS AS TRIFLUOROMETHYL-CONTAINING BUILDING-BLOCKS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (2), 1998, pp. 279-281
The preparation and reaction of 3,3,3-trifluoropropiondithioacetals 5
as possible trifluoromethyl-containing synthons has been studied. The
synthesis of alkyl 1-acetoxy-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl thioethers 6 from c
ompounds 5 and the Lewis acid-mediated reactions of compounds 6 with e
nol silyl ethers are also described.
