Abstract
The reaction between perfluoroalkyl-Grignard or lithium compounds and diethyl carbonate has been investigated. Under appropriate conditions, symmetric or asymmetric ketones can be prepared. The reactions of the perfluoro- Grignard or lithium compounds with diethyl oxalate can yield keto-esters and symmetric or asymmetric ketones.
