Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetylacetone (15.53 g, 155 mmol), 3-trifluoromethylaniline (5.00 g, 31 mmol), and 4-toluenesulfonic acid (0.53 g, 3.1 mmol) are dissolved in toluene (50 ml). The reaction mixture is refluxed overnight with a Dean-Stark trap to remove water. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate mixtures as eluent.
