Trifluoromethyl Ketones from Enolizable Carboxylic Acids via Enediolate Trifluoroacetylation/Decarboxylation
摘要:
Primary and secondary (enolizable) carboxylic acids were converted in a single step to trifluoromethyl ketones. Treatment of the acid with 2.2 equiv of LDA generated an enediolate that was trifluoroacetylated with EtO2CCF3. Quenching the reaction mixture with aqueous HCI resulted in rapid decarboxylation and provided the trifluoromethyl ketone product in good yield. The process may be performed at -20 degrees C with a slight reduction in yield. The reaction was extended to the preparation of pentafluoroethyl and chlorodifluoromethyl ketones.

Catalytic methods for direct access to aliphatic trifluoromethyl ketones from feedstocks remain underdeveloped, partially owing to the high reactivity and instability of the trifluoroacetyl radical. Reported herein is the photocatalytic synthesis of trifluoromethyl ketones fromalkylbromides and trifluoroacetic anhydride. The reaction features visible-light catalysis and halogen-atom transfer (XAT)
