“…[26] However, the synthesis of trifluoroacetylquinolines was rarely reported. [27,28] In 2020 and 2021, a novel and efficient method for synthesis of trifluoromethylpyridines 5 and 7, trifluoromethyl-quinolines 10, or trifluoroacetyl-quinoline derivatives 12 from the reactions of trifluoromethyl-α,β-ynones 3 with β-enamino esters (or ketones) 4, vinyl azides 6, acetanilides 8, anilides, 9 or quinolines 11 in the presence of ZnBr 2 , CuBr 2 /PPh 3 / PMDETA, [RhCp*Cl 2 ] 2 /AgSbF 6 , or morpholine was described by the groups of Hu, Trofimov, Nenajdenko, Wu, Wang, and Cheng (Scheme 3). [10,[29][30][31] The results indicated that the reactions between trifluoromethyl-α,β-ynones 3 and β-enamino esters (or ketones) 4 catalyzed by ZnBr 2 gave 40-82% yields of trifluoromethyl-pyridines 5 except when R 2 in substrates 4 was CF 3 .…”
