Abstract
Chlorodifluoromethyl ketones CF 2 ClCOR, where R is an alkyl, aryl, and 1-alkynyl group, underwent the Reformatsky-type aldol reaction with a wide variety of aldehydes or ketones in the presence of acid-washed zinc dust and copper (I) chloride or silver acetate to give the corresponding α, α-difluoro-β-hydroxy ketones in good to excellent yields. Specific activation of zinc metal with the metal salt is essential to achieve high efficiency of the reaction, ...
