Abstract

Organic molecules bearing a CF3 group have been drawing considerable attention because of their potential biological activities.' An attractive method for the preparation of these compounds is to prepare some versatile intermediates carry- ing a CF3 group and utilize them as building blocks. In connection with this, a few methods have been developed, but in some cases their applicability still has much to be desired. For example, various CF3-attached carbanions ...
