We developed a decarboxylative aldol reaction using α,α-difluoro-β-ketocarboxylate salt, carbonyl compounds, and ZnCl<sub>2</sub>/<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>',<i>N</i>'-tetramethylethylenediamine. The generation of difluoroenolate proceeded smoothly under mild heating to provide α,α-difluoro-β-hydroxy ketones in good to excellent yield (up to 99%). The α,α-difluoro-β-ketocarboxylate salt was bench stable and easy to handle under air, which realizes a convenient and environmentally friendly method ...[more]
