“…[1][2][3] Especially, β-chloro-β-trifluoromethylated enones are very useful building blocks to provide trifluoromethyl substituted heterocycles such as pyrazoles, isoxazoles and pyrimidines. [4][5][6][7] Several methods for the preparation of β-chloro-β-trifluoromethylated enones have been reported in the previous literatures, 6,[8][9] but the previous methods have some drawbacks such as formation of regioisomers, lack of generalization and low yield preparation. Eguchi et al reported that addition of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane to carbon-carbon double bond of trimethylsilyl enol ethers in the presence of copper(I) chloride, followed by dehydrochlorination with triethylamine, afforded β-chloro-β-trifluoromethylated enones in moderate yields.…”
