The cross-aldol reaction of hexafluoroacetone (HFA) with ketones catalyzed by an acid
摘要:
The cross-aldol reactions of hexafluoroacetone (HFA) and ketones using an acid catalyst are reported. When concentrated sulfuric acid was employed as the catalyst, HFA reacted regioselectively with various ketones at 50-100 degrees C to give the aldol adducts (6) in good yields. The reaction is initiated by an acid-catalyzed transformation of the ketone into the corresponding enol that reacts with HFA. The obtained adducts (6) can be reduced with hydrogen under a Ru/C catalyst to lead to the corresponding fluorine-containing diols (13).(c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A process for producing a fluorine-containing 2,4-diol represented by the formula [4],
wherein R
1
represents a hydrogen atom or an acyclic or cyclic alkyl group having a carbon atom number of 1 to 7; R
2
represents an acyclic or cyclic alkyl group having a carbon atom number of 1 to 7, a phenyl group, or a substituted phenyl group; and R
1
and R
2
are optionally bonded to each other to form a ring, includes reducing a hydroxy ketone represented by the formula [3],
wherein R
1
and R
2
are defined as above, by hydrogen in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst.
