An unprecedented NHC-catalyzed generation of p-quinodimethanes via ε-umpolung of 4-(chloromethyl)benzaldehydes and the following ε-addition to active ketones was developed. A series of active ketones, such as trifluoromethyl ketones and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, worked well for the reaction, giving the corresponding trifluoromethyl alcohols and α-hydroxyl carbonyl compounds in good yields.
