Abstract

Abstract The hitherto unknown ethyl pentafluorobenzoylpiruvate was prepared by condensing pentafluoroacetophenone with diethyl oxalate. Intramolecular cyclization of this ester or of its copper (II) chelate, as well as of ethyl 2-(ethoxymethylene) pentafluorobenzoylacetate affords 2-and 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrafluorochromones. Hydrolysis of the latter followed by decarboxylation gives 5, 6, 7, 8-tetrafluorochromone.
