Acylsilane and trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane gave, under fluoride initiati
on, a difluoroenoxysilane which is used in situ in a Lewis add catalyzed co
upling with a prenyl ester or a benzylic bromide. The advantage of this one
-pot procedure was illustrated by its use in the synthesis of gcm-difluoro
analogues of terpenes (dehydro-or-curcumene and or-turmerone). (C) 1999 Els
