Chiral phosphoric acid was found to be an effective organocatalysts for the direct enantioselective arylation of ethyl 4,4,4‐trifluoroacetoacetate (ETFAA). A series of chiral trifluoromethyl‐substituted tertiary alcohols were obtained in moderate to high yields with up to 78 % ee . Several desired products were obtained with excellent optical purities after a single recrystallization. This method was also extended to ethyl trifluoropyruvate, which is complementary to systems catalyzed by Lewis acids and cinchona alkaloids.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
