We present a practical trifluoromethyl-directed Wacker-type oxidation of internal alkenes that enables rapid access to β-trifluoromethyl-substituted ketones. Allylic trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes bearing a wide range of functional groups can be oxidized in high yield and regioselectivity. The distance dependence of the regioselectivity was established by systematic variation of the number of methylene units between the double bond and the trifluoromethyl group. The regioselectivity enforced by traditional directing groups could even be reversed by introduction of a competing trifluoromethyl group. Besides being a new powerful synthetic method to prepare fluorinated molecules, this work directly probes the role of inductive effects on nucleopalladation events.

Page/Page column 33-34, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a novel method for preparing 4,4,4-trifluorobutane-2-one by providing a fluorobutene selected from the group consisting of 2,4,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-butene, (E)- 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butene, (Z)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butene, and mixture thereof; and reacting the fluorobutene(s) with a proton acid and water.
