Tandem reductive perfluoroalkylation of esters with perfluoroalkyl titanate-type reagents
The generation of stable perfluoroalkyl titanate-type reagents and their new type of reaction, tandem reductive perfluoroalkylation of esters, are shown to give perfluoroalkylated sec -alcohols in up to quantitative yield.
