Abstract

Summary: Extremely facile methods for generating the metal E-enolates CF3-C (OM)= CF2 (M= Li, Na, K) from CF3CH (OH) CF3 have been developed. Furthermore, the E-enolates are shown to exhibit a unique spectrum of reactivity including the aldol reactivity and the electrophilic reactivity toward organometallic reagents.
