Chasing an Elusive Alkoxide: Attempts to Synthesize [OC(tBu)(CF3)2]?

The synthesis of the alkoxide [OC(tBu)(CF3)2]? by the reaction of tBuM-reagents (M = Li; MgX) with hexafluoroacetone was attempted. This alkoxide was anticipated to be a good building block for novel weakly coordinating anions. However, in all attempted syntheses – also supported by theore...
