The aldol reaction with difluoroenolates

Abstract
The reaction between lithium enolates of difluoroketones and non-enolisable aldehydes proceeds smoothly to afford difluoroaldol adducts in good yields; structurally complex fluoroketones can be constructed in a facile one-pot procedure from trifluoroethanol.
