The decomposition of trihalogenoacetic acids in dimethyl sulphoxide: a mild route from carbonyl compounds to trihalogenomethylethanol and trihalogenomethyl ketones
Abstract
Solutions of trichloro- and tribromo-acetic acid in dimethyl sulphoxide in the presence of carbonyl compounds react at room temperature to give insoluble products corresponding to addition of H–CX3 across the carbonyl double bond.
