Significance

Lautens and co-workers report a rhodium-catalyzed cyclization of 1-(trifluoromethyl)-4-alkyn-1-ones with variously substituted arylboronic acids to obtain (trifluoromethyl)cyclobutanols bearing an exocyclic double bond.


 

Comment

The reactivity of the newly formed exocyclic double bond was explored by subjecting a (trifluoromethyl)cyclobutanol to an epoxidation reaction using MCPBA and an ozonolysis.
