Abstract

The reaction of β-fluoro-β-trifluoromethylated enol tosylate with Grignard reagents giving the corresponding β,γ,γ-tri­fluoroallyl alcohols as well as heteropoly acid-mediated ethanolysis of the allyl alcohols affording (Z)-β-substituted α-fluoro-α,β-un­saturated esters is described.

Key words

fluorine - trifluoromethyl - Grignard reaction - sulfonates - cleavage - nucleophilic additions - alcohols - esters
