Abstract

α, α-Difluoroalkylamines, such as 1-diethylamino-2-chloro-1, 1, 2-trifluoroethane (1) and 1- diethylamino-1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3-hexafluoropropane (2), were found to be useful dehydrating agents for the synthesis of acetylenic ketones from β-diketones in the presence of freeze- dried potassium fluoride in acetonitrile.
