Popis: | The authors thank the Royal Society for a University Research Fellowship (A.D.S.), and the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) ERC grant agreement no. 279850 (A.T.D.). The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed redox formal [2+2] cycloaddition between α-aroyloxyaldehydes and perfluoroketones, followed by ring-opening in situ delivers a variety of perfluorinated β-hydroxycarbonyl compounds in good yield, and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Through a reductive work-up and subsequent cyclization, this protocol offers access to highly substituted fluorinated oxetanes in two steps and in high ee. Postprint |
