Cyclic and acyclic beta-ketoesters were efficiently trifluoromethylated with 5-trifluoromethyldibenzothiophenium tetrafluoroborate in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst to afford the corresponding alpha-substituted alpha-trifluoromethyl beta-ketoesters in good to excellent yields. In a second approach, 5-trifluoromethyldibenzothiophenium tetrafluoroborate and tetrabutylammonium difluorotriphenylstannate were used for efficient electrophilic trifluoromethylation of various silyl enol ethers leading to the corresponding alpha-trifluoromethyl ketones in good to high yields.
