A triflic reaction: The role of triflic anhydride is not limited to the transfer of a triflyl group to the nitrogen atom during the interaction of pyridine with bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals: it can also provide an electrophilic CF3 group able to transform the formed dihydropyridines substituted with trimethylsilyl ester groups into α-trifluoromethyllactones (see scheme).
