Abstract
Promoted by stannous salts, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane reacts readily with aliphatic, aromatic, and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes giving the corresponding alcohols bearing a CF3CCl2-moiety in good to excellent yields. These alcohols are further oxidized by Jones reagent giving the corresponding ketones in high yields.
