Abstract

This study describes an improved one-pot, four-step synthesis­ of a new series of 1-aryl-3-trifluoroacetyl pyrroles from the reaction of 3-trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran with arylamines, giving 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-arylamino-3-buten-2-ones, which were directly submitted to Swern oxidation to furnish 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-ethanal)-4-arylamino-3-buten-2-ones. Subsequent intramolecular cyclization of the corresponding enaminoaldehydes followed by aromatization rendered the title compounds in a 30 to 56% overall yield.
