TfOH-catalyzed domino cycloisomerization/hydrolytic defluorination of 2,3-allenyl perfluoroalkyl ketones

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Dec 14;51(96):17112-5. doi: 10.1039/c5cc06111c.

Abstract

A unique TfOH-catalyzed domino cycloisomerization/hydrolytic defluorination reaction of easily available n-perfluoroalkyl allenones in the presence of H2O providing furanyl perfluoroalkyl ketones has been developed. The (18)O-labelling experiments confirmed that the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group in the final products originates from water.
