A perfect double role of CF3 groups in activating substrates and stabilizing adducts: the chiral Brønsted acid-catalyzed direct arylation of trifluoromethyl ketones.
A direct and efficient Brønsted acid-promoted arylation of tri- and difluoromethyl ketones, as well perfluoroalkyl ketones, has been developed; good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) were achieved.
