Syntheses cf intermediate 4-dialkylamino-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-ene-2-ones ar
e described from 4-ethyloxy-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-ene-2-one and alpha-aminoa
cids. In subsequent cyclisations pyrroles and other bicyclic heteroaromatic
s having trifluoromethyl substitution are obtained either by simple dehydra
tion or with concomitant decarboxylation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al
