1,1,1-Trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione → HCID 178437489, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl propionimidate hydrochloride (1.37 g, 10.0 mmol), aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride (0.93 g, 10.0 mmol), 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione (3.64 mL, 30.0 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (5.23 mL, 30.0 mmol) were stirred in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 mL) under reflux for 4 hr. Ethyl acetate was added to the mixture, and the mixture was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=30/70) to give the title compound (1.07 g, 47%).
