Abstract

The scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate-catalyzed cleavage of acetate bearing two or three fluorine atoms at a position β to an acetoxy group proceeds exceptionally rapidly. The high efficiency of the hydrolysis is caused by a chelating effect of scandium with the fluorine atoms and an acetate moiety.
