An efficient and directaldol-type condensation of ethyl diazoacetate with trifluoromethyl ketones was developed in the presence of dialkyl zinc. A series of trifluoromethylated products were obtained in good to excellent yields (60–95%). A preliminary extension to a catalytic enantioselective aldol reaction of ethyl diazoacetate to trifluoromethyl ketones (up to 72% ee) is also described.
