Novel reductive olefination mediated by Ti(O-i-Pr)₄ and Ph₃P. One-pot synthesis of trifluoromethylated trans-allylic alcohols

Abstract

A novel reductive olefination mediated by Ti(O-i-Pr)₄ and Ph₃P and its application to the ‘one-pot’ synthesis of perfluoroalkylated trans-allylic alcohols are described.
