The reaction of a-fluorocarboxamides of secondary amines, which contain a total of at least 2 heteroatoms from the groups 0, S and N, with organometallic compounds gives, in high yields, crystalline salts of half-aminals which can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding α-fluoroketones. a-Fluoroketones are valuable intermediates e.g. for the production of fungicides. |
