Supporting Information General: All chemicals were obtained from commercial suppliers and were used without further purification. Analytical TLC was carried out on precoated plates (Merck silica gel 60, F254) and flash column chromatography was performed with silica (Merck, 70-230 mesh). NMR spectra ( 1 H at 400 MHz; 13 C at 100 MHz) were recorded in CDCl3, and chemical shifts are expressed in ppm relative to internal TMS for 1 H- and 13 C-NMR. Melting points were uncorrected. Reaction of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-p-tolylbutan-1,3-dione with triflate 1a at rt To a solution of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-p-tolylbutan-1,3-dione (115 mg, 0.50 mmol) and CsF (228 mg, 1.5 mmol) in acetonitrile (6.0 ml) was added triflate 1a (179 mg, 0.60 mmol) in acetonitrile (3.0 ml). After standing at rt for 16h, the reaction mixture was washed with water, dried over MgS4, filtered, and evaporated to give a pale yellow oil, which was chromatographed over silica gel by elution with hexane-dichloromethane (1:1) to afford 3-tolylisocoumarin 3a (26.1 mg, 0.18 mmol), 1-trifluoromethyl-3-tolyl-1H-isochromen-1-ol 4a (8.4 mg, 0.04 mmol), and 2-trifluoroacetyl-2 -toluylbiphenyl 5 (8.7 mg, 0.03 mmol).
