Abstract
Two kinds of trifluoromethylated spiro or fused cyclic compounds were synthesized via the unexpected direct α,α′-dialkylation of (E)-4-ethoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-buten-2-one (1) with silyl enol ethers in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate.
Key words
trifluoromethylated spiro or fused cyclic compounds - silyl enol ethers - (E)-4-ethoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-buten-2-one - boron trifluoride etherate

References and Notes
General Procedure. BF3·OEt2 (1.6 mL, 6 mmol) was added dropwise to a mixture of 1 (1.01 g, 6 mmol) and silyl enol ether (3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) at 0 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. After 12 h TLC analysis showed the reaction was complete. H2O (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture to quench the reaction, and then the organic layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 and dried over Na2SO4. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (hexane-EtOAc, 60:1) to provide pure products.
