General and Efficient Synthesis of 1,1,1-Trichloro-2-alkanols

Abstract
1,1,1-Trichloroalkanols were readily obtained in good yields by reaction of trichloroacetic acid with aldehydes in hexamethylphosphoric triamide. 1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone was found to be useful as an alternate solvent giving, however, lower yields.
