“…Fluorinated allylamines and α,β-unsaturated fluoralkyl ketones represent an important class of compounds in organic synthesis17a and in medicinal chemistry. 17b, In this context, secondary trifluoromethyl allylamines have been prepared by Lewis acid-catalyzed addition of acetylenes to trifluoroacetaldehyde N , N -aminals,19a by vinylmagnesium bromide addition to N -acyl imines derived from trifluoroacetaldehyde generated in situ,19b or by nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of N -tosyl aldimine,19c while α,β-unsaturated fluoroalkyl ketones have been prepared from esters, 20a,b enamines, 20c-e tellurides,20f or α-acetylenic trifluoromethyl ketones. 20g,h With this in mind, we thought that fluorinated allylamines and unsaturated ketones could be prepared from fluoroalkyl-substituted primary enamino phosphonates 1 .…”
