Abstract

Bicyclo orthoesters and amide acetals were prepared from the corresponding triols or diethanolamines using α,α-difluoroalkylamines. The reaction proceeded under milder conditions than conventional methods. 4-tert-Butyl-1-(4-ethynylphenyl)tri­oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, a new class of insecticide, was prepared from a triol in three steps using a difluoroalkylamine.
