Abstract

AbstractA convenient approach for the synthesis of 3-difluoroalkyl phthalides has been developed from phthalaldehydic acids and difluoroenoxysilanes by using relatively inexpensive p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTSA) as a catalyst. A series of 3-difluoroalkyl phthalides and cyclic difluoroalkyl ethers were obtained in up to 99% yield. The products obtained could be readily converted into difluoroalkyl phthalide derivatives by simple modifications.
