Difluoroenol silyl ethers 5 and 6, difluoroketene silyl (O,O-, O,S-, and O,N-) acetals 9 and 21, and 2,2-difluoro-2-trimethylsilylacetates 10 were prepared by electroreductive defluorination of trifluoromethyl ketones and trifluoroacetic acid derivatives in an MeCN-TBAB-chlorotrialkylsilane system using a carbon rod as an anode and a lead plate as a cathode. TBAF- or KF- CuI-promoted α-alkylation of 10 with electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, imine, acylhalides, and alkylhalides provided α-alkylated-α,α- difluoroacetates in good to excellent yields.
