title: New Strategies for the Synthesis of Fluorinated Vinylogous Amidines and beta-Enamino Ketones.
abstract: Reaction of fluorinated imidoyl chlorides 3 with ketimines 1a provides fluorinated 1,3-diimines, which were exclusively isolated as vinylogous amidine tautomers 2beta, with good yields. Fluorinated beta-enamino ketones 4 are obtained by regioselective hydrolysis of 2. Complementary methods for the synthesis of regioisomeric beta-enamino ketones 4 and 5 are also reported. These methods include the reaction of azaenolates of ketimines with fluorinated esters 6 and reactions of ketone enolates with fluorinated imidoyl chlorides 3. The behavior of these systems in hydrolysis reactions was also tested.
