Reaction of Trifluoromethyl Ketones. III. : The Aluminum Chloride Assisted Ene Reaction of 1, 1, 1-Trifluoro-2-hexanone and α, α, α-Trifluoroacetophenone

Abstract
In the presence of aluminum chloride, 1, 1, 1-trifluoro-2-hexanone reacts as an enophile with several allyl compounds to give trifluoromethylated homoallyl alcohols. α, α, α-Trifluoroacetophenone reacts similarly with aliphatic allyl compounds, but its reaction with allylbenzene is too slow to be useful for the synthesis of fluorine compounds.
