This study describes, firstly, the synthesis of a new precursor, 4, 6, 6-trimethoxy-1, 1, 1- trifluorohex-3-en-2-one (1), from the trifluoroacetylation reaction of 1, 1, 3, 3- tetramethoxybutane, in 65% yields. Afterwards, the reaction of 1 with two hydrazines (NH2NHR, where R= 2-furanoyl, C6F5) led to a new series of 4, 5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles, containing an acetal-protected aldehyde function as substituent, in 90–97% yields. In a ...
