Synthesis of 1,3-dioxin-4-ones having a trifluoromethyl group at the 5-position: versatile building blocks for trifluoromethylated compounds
Abstract
The reaction of 5-iodo-1,3-dioxin-4-ones with trifluoromethyl iodide in the presence of copper powder in hexamethylphosphoric triamide affords the title compounds, which can be converted either to α-trifluoromethylated β-keto acid derivatives or to uracil or oxazine derivatives bearing a trifluoromethyl group.
