Abstract
A convenient general method of halogenations suitable for synthesis of α-halodifluoromethyl ketones is reported. Reaction of 2,2-difluoro-1-aryl-1-trimethylsiloxyethenes (difluoro silyl enol ethers) (2a-e) with halogens at low temperature (-30 to -78 °C) produced a high yield of α-halodifluoromethyl ketones (1a-j). This one-step simple method can be highly useful for synthesis of [18F]-labeled α-trifluoromethyl ketones.
