The asymmetric synthesis of chiral fluoroorganic compounds has played an important role in the development of medicines and materials due to the influence of fluorine's unique properties. 1 Chiral fluorinated alcohols are versatile intermediates for the synthesis of antiferroelectric liquid crystalline molecules. 2 Recently, we have reported the synthesis of various kinds of trifluoromethylated alcohols as racemates. 3 There are some methods ...
