“…In this work, we considered another approach to difluorodi(het)arylmethanes, which also relied on the use of (het)aryl difluoro methyl‐substituted building blocks, namely, β‐alkoxyenones of the type 1 [X = (het)aryl, Scheme ]. It should be noted that heterocyclizations of various fluorinated β‐alkoxyenones 1 (X = H, F, Cl, CF 3 , CHF 2 ) were reported in recent publications descri‐bing synthesis of fluoroalkyl‐substituted pyrazoles, isoxazoles, and pyrimidines,, , as well as other heterocycles , . However, no examples of (het)aryl difluoromethyl ‐substituted enones of the type 1 were reported to date.…”
