Abstract

A new method for the general synthesis of 1, 1-difluoroalkenes from ketones is presented. The procedure involves initial condensation of a ketone with the difluoro Reformatsky reagent, hydrolysis to form the α, α-difluoro-β-hydroxy acids, followed by cyclization to make the novel α, α-difluoro-β-lactones. These are then thermally decarboxylated to form the 1, 1- difluoroalkenes.
