Abstract
A tandem process of a Claisen condensation and a retro-Claisen C-C bond cleavage enables an efficient, operationally simple approach to trifluoromethyl ketones. Enolizable alkyl phenyl ketones readily react with ethyl trifuoroacetate under the promotion of NaH to afford trifluoromethyl ketones. This procedure can be extended to the preparation of perfluoroalkyl ketones in excellent yield.
