Va. Dorokhov et al., CHELATE SYNTHESIS OF ETHOXYCARBONYL-4-HYDROXY-2-TRIFLUOROMETHYLPYRIDINE FROM ETHYL ACETOACETATE AND TRIFLUOROACETONITRILE, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(7), 1995, pp. 1283-1285
Ethyl 2-acetyl-3-amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate was synthesized by
treatment of ethyl acetoacetate with CF3CN in the presence of Ni(acac)
(2). Condensation of the diphenylboron chelate of the former with dime
thylformamide dimethylacetal followed by refluxing in ethanol yielded
thoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-2-trifluoromethylpyridine.
