Electroorganic chemistry. 130. A novel trifluoromethylation of aldehydes and ketones promoted by an electrogenerated base
摘要:
A base generated by the electroreduction of 2-pyrrolidone deprotonated trifluoromethane to form a trifluoromethyl anion equivalent. In the presence of hexamethyldisilazane, this species reacted with a variety of aldehydes and ketones to afford (trifluoromethyl)-carbinols in high yield.
