title: Bis-exo-2-norbornylboron triflate for stereospecific enolization of 3,3,3-trifluoropropionates.
abstract: The first boron-mediated enolization-aldolization of 3,3,3-trifluoropropionates has been reported. The preparation and application of bis-exo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylboron triflate as a superior reagent for diastereospecific enolization has also been described.
