New fluoride ion-catalyzed reaction of f-alkylacetylenes with silyl enol ethers. An efficient route to f-alkyl-substituted propargylic alcohols and α-hydroxy ketones

Treatment of $\text{F}$-alkylacetylenes, generated $\text{in}$$\text{situ}$ from 1$\text{H}$-$\text{F}$-1- alkenephosphonates, with silyl enol ethers in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium fluoride gives good yields of $\text{F}$-alkyl-substituted propargyl alcohols or 4-(1$\text{H}$-$\text{F}$-alkylidene)-1,3-dioxolane derivatives, the latter being converted to tie corresponding α-hydroxy ketones.
