α-Fluoroalkylation of Carbonyl Compounds Mediated by a Highly Reactive Al-kyl-Rhodium Complex. — Silyl enol ethers of various carbonyl compounds are treat-ed with diethylzinc and fluoroalkyl halides to afford the corresponding α-fluoroalkylat-ed carbonyl compounds. This process provides access to α-Rf carbonyl compounds which are difficult to obtain otherwise, especially thioesters and aldehydes. Following a previously proposed mechanism, the fluoroalkylation is mediated by a highly reactive alkyl-rhodium complex which is derived from the rhodium-based catalyst and diethyl-zinc. — (SATO, K.; YAMAZOE, S.; AKASHI, Y.; HAMANO, T.; MIYAMOTO, A.; SUGIYAMA, S.; TARUI, A.; OMOTE, M.; KUMADAKI, I.; ANDO*, A.; J.
