Studies on the reactions of silyl enol ether with perfluoroorganic compounds1 III. Synthesis of perfluoroalkylated α, β-unsaturated aldehydes and their derivatives

Per- and poly-fluoroalkylated α, β-unsaturated alkenals were synthesized by the reaction of silyl enol ether of alkanals with per- and poly-fluoroalkyl iodide initiated by Na₂S₂O₄ conveniently in high yield. Their corresponding alkenol and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone were also synthesized.
