Abstract

Abstract A two-step process for the synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl trifluoromethyl ketones from the corresponding aldehydes is described. Trifluoromethyl alcohols were prepared from aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes in excellent yields using catalytic amount of K 2 CO 3. The trifluoromethyl alcohols were then oxidized conveniently and efficiently by o- iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) under mild conditions to get the desired functionalized aryl and ...
