2,2-Difluoro enol silyl ethers: convenient preparation and application to the synthesis of a novel fluorinated brassinosteroid
Abstract
On treatment with Grignard reagents, trifluoroacetyltriphenylsilane was converted into 2,2-difluoro enol silyl ethers in almost quantitative yields. As a synthetic application of the 2,2-difluoro enol silyl ether, a novel fluorinated brassinosteroid was synthesized.
