A Convergent Radical Based Route to Trifluoromethyl Ketones and to α,β-Unsaturated Trifluoromethyl Ketones.

A convergent synthesis of trifluoromethyl ketones and α,β-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones is described, starting with aliphatic iodides and dithiocarbonates (xanthates) and exploiting both the α- and β-fragmentations of a sulfonyl radical. The transformation initially furnishes the ketones in a masked enol carbonate form, from which they can be easily regenerated.
