TRIFLUOROMETHYLATION OF CARBONYL COMPOUNDS WITH TRIFLUOROMETHYLZINC IODIDE UNDER ULTRASONIC IRRADIATION

Abstract
The trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds with trifluoromethylzinc iodide, prepared from trifluoromethyl iodide with ultrasonically dispersed zinc, smoothly proceeded to give corresponding α-trifluoromethyl carbinols in good yields.
