In conclusion, we have developed a direct, efficient, and general
method to synthesize -CF3-substituted enones from allenes.
Various functionalized allenes were employed using an
inexpensive trifluoromethylating reagent. Mild reaction condition
and easy availability of starting material make this method
attractive to generate -trifluromethylated enones.
