Preparation and reaction of 3,3,3-trifluoropropiondithioacetals as trifluoromethyl-containing building blocks

Abstract

The preparation and reaction of 3,3,3-trifluoropropiondithioacetals 5 as possible trifluoromethyl-containing synthons has been studied. The synthesis of alkyl 1-acetoxy-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl thioethers 6 from compounds 5 and the Lewis acid-mediated reactions of compounds 6 with enol silyl ethers are also described.
