MIXED ORGANOFLUORINE-ORGANOSILICON CHEMISTRY - 8 - ONE-POT SYNTHESIS OF 2,2-DIFLUORO-1,5 DIKETONES FROM ACYLSILANES, TRIFLUOROMETHYLTRIMETHYLSILANE AND ENONES, AND THEIR ANNULATION REACTION
O. Lefebvre et al., MIXED ORGANOFLUORINE-ORGANOSILICON CHEMISTRY - 8 - ONE-POT SYNTHESIS OF 2,2-DIFLUORO-1,5 DIKETONES FROM ACYLSILANES, TRIFLUOROMETHYLTRIMETHYLSILANE AND ENONES, AND THEIR ANNULATION REACTION, Tetrahedron, 54(22), 1998, pp. 5939-5948
We describe the synthesis of 2,2-difluoro-1,5-diketones in a one-pot p
rocedure from an acylsilane and trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane, via re
action of difluoroenoxysilanes and enones under electrophilic activati
on. These diketones are interesting building blocks for the synthesis
of gem-difluoro enones or substituted fluorophenols, depending on the
annulation conditions. The annulation proceeds with complete regiosele
ctivity controlled by the fluorine substitution. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sci
