Abstract

Direct trifluoromethylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with CF3I in the presence of a Fenton reagent in dimethylsulfoxide was investigated. 1,3-Diketones, 3-oxocarboxylates and 3-oxocarboxamides were readily trifluoromethylated at the methylene carbon between two oxo groups. Cycloaddition of hydrazine derivatives to the obtained 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds provided fluorinated pyrazoles. 4-(Trifluoromethyl)pyrazole derivatives were formed from 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-diketones, while 3-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)carboxylates or carboxamides gave 5-fluoropyrazole-4-carboxylates or carboxamides, respectively, via 3-hydrazono-2-(trifluoromethyl)carboxylates or carboxamides as an intermediate.
