Copper-mediated trifluoromethylation of α-diazo esters with TMSCF3 reagent has been developed as a new method to prepare α-trifluoromethyl esters. This trifluoromethylation reaction represents the first example of fluoroalkylation of a non-fluorinated carbene precursor. Water plays an important role in promoting the reaction by activating the "CuCF3" species prepared from CuI/TMSCF3/CsF (1.0:1.1:1.1). The scope of this trifluoromethylation reaction is broad, and its efficiency is demonstrated in the synthesis of a variety of aryl-, benzyl-, and alkyl-substituted 3,3,3-trifluoropropanoates.

The invention provides novel arylalkene compounds of formula I, a process for their preparation and their use as intermediates for insecticidal compounds, comprising, STR1 wherein W represents 1 to 4 substituents selected from halo, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy and alkoxyalkyl, or W represents a bidentate alkylene or alkylenedioxy group linking adjacent carbon atoms, X represents fluoroalkyl, and Y is selected from chlorine, bromine and alkoxy; and a process for preparing said ethers. The compounds of formula I are prepared by reacting a ketone of formula: STR2 with a phosphonium salt of formula Hal - (Q) 3 P + -CH 2 -Y, where Hal - represents a halide ion and Q represents alkyl or aryl.
