Ring-opening of 1-CF3-substituted epoxy ethers with carboxylic acids was achieved in Et3N as solvent, and alpha-CF3-substituted acyloins and corresponding esters were obtained in good yields. In hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) as solvent, the carboxylic acids acted as nucleophiles, and alpha-carbonyloxy trifluoromethyl ketones were isolated in good yields. After reduction, CF3-substituted glycols were obtained as monoesters on one or the other hydroxy group. This reaction also allowed the preparation of alpha-carbonylsulfanyl- and alpha-phosphoryloxy trifluoromethyl ketones and corresponding alcohols.
