Abstract

Reduce your waist: A highly efficient synthesis of α-CF3 γ-keto esters and trifluoromethylated 4,5-dihydro pyridazinones is reported based on tandem Wittig-conjugate reduction reactions, which directly utilize the Ph3PO waste from the Wittig reaction as the Lewis base catalyst to activate HSiCl3 for the chemoselective conjugate reduction.
