Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-amidine (1 g, 5.26 mmol) and ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butynoate (1.1 ml, 7.89 mmol) in ethanol (100 ml) was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min. The temperature of the mixture was raised to 60° C. and was let to stir at this temperature for 30 min. Then aqueous KOH (0.86 g in 20 ml water) was added dropwise. The mixture was refluxed for 4 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, rotary evaporated and isolated as a white solid (1.5 g, 94%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 9.72 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.87 (dd, J=2.1, 8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.93 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.00 (s, 1H).
