An operationally simple, inexpensive, and rapid route for the olefination of a wide array of trifluoromethyl ketones to yield 3,3,3- trifluoromethylpropenes is reported. Using a Peterson olefination approach, the reaction gives good to excellent yields of the alkene products and can be performed without purification of the β-hydroxysilyl intermediate. The reaction can be extended to other perfluoroalkyl substituents and is easily scaled up. The alkenes prepared can be readily transformed into a variety of other perfluoroalkyl-containing compounds.

A continuous-flow approach to the synthesis of 3,3,3-trifluoromethylpropenes involving Grignard addition of (trimethylsilyl)methylmagnesium chloride to a trifluoromethyl ketone followed by dehydrative desilylation of the α-tri fluoromethyl-β-hydroxysilyl alcohol using trimethylsilyl tri fluoromethanesulfonate is reported. An inline aqueous/organic extraction and a concomitant solvent switch were key to the success of the methodology. Transition from batch to continuous flow conditions allows for higher yields, shorter reaction times, and facile scale out.
