Abstract
Benzocyclobutenone derivatives 4 are converted to the corresponding trifluoromethylcyclobutanols 5 by treatment with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane in the presence of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. These trifluoromethylcyclobutanol derivatives are then treated with LiTMP in the presence of aromatic aldehydes to afford trifluoromethyllactols 6 via a laterally-lithiated trifluoromethylketone intermediate.
