Abstract
An operationally simple, inexpensive, and rapid route for the olefination of a wide array of trifluoromethyl ketones using a Peterson olefination approach gives very good yields of 3,3,3-trifluoromethylpropene products and can be performed without purification of the β-hydroxysilyl intermediate. The reaction can be extended to other perfluoroalkyl substituents and is easily scaled up.
