Abstract

Abstract Chemoselectivity in the reactions between ethyl 4, 4, 4-trifluoroacetoacetate (ethyl 4, 4, 4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate) and various anilines was systematically studied as a function of the reaction conditions used (solvent/temperature, catalyst). The results obtained allowed chemoselective (> 90%) synthesis of the corresponding ethyl 3-arylamino-4, 4, 4- trifluorobut-2-enoates and N-aryl-4, 4, 4-trifluoro-3-oxobutyramides, which were cyclized ...
