Abstract

(N-Aryltrifluoroacetimidoyl) zinc halides were easily generated at room temperature by the oxidative addition of imidoyl halides to activated zinc powder.[N-(2, 6-Dichlorophenyl)-and N- (2, 6-dimethylphenyl) trifluoroacetimidoyl] zinc halides react with aldehydes to give the corresponding alcohols smoothly in good to excellent yields. These adducts could be readily transformed to the α-amino ketones.
