RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Highly enantioselective addition of dimethylzinc to fluorinated alkyl ketones, and the mechanism behind it A1 Neves García, Tomaz A1 Vélez Blasco, Andrea A1 Martínez de Ilarduya Martínez de Ilarduya, Jesús María A1 Espinet Rubio, Pablo K1 Química organometálica K1 Organometallic chemistry AB Chiral-diamine catalyzed addition of ZnMe2 to PhC(O)CF2X (in dichloromethane at −30 °C) affords fluorinated alkyl tertiary alcohols in high yield (quantitative for X = H, F, Cl; 84% for X = CF3) and up to 99% ee. These conditions are similarly very efficient for other various ArC(O)CF3 molecules. A fine analysis of the results can be performed based on a double-cycle mechanism.
