Abstract

Readily available cyclic beta-alkoxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated trifluoromethylketones react with excess phenyl magnesium bromide by initial 1,4-addition, followed by ring opening to give a variety of products. Both the major products, unsaturated diols, and the minor products, as shown by X-ray diffraction studies, are generated with high stereoselectivity, which is attributed to A(1,3)-strain.
