A Convenient and Facile Synthesis of Fluorine-Containing 1H-,2H-Benz[g]indazoles and Naphthisoxazoles by Aromatic Nucleophilic N-N Exchange Reaction of N,N-Dimethyl-2,4-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-1-naphthylamine with Hydrazines and Hydroxylamine

N,N-Dimethyl-2,4-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-1-naphthylamine (1) undergoes an aromatic nucleophilic N-N exchange reaction with hydrazines followed by cyclocondensation to afford the corresponding fluorine-containing 1H- and 2H-benz[g]indazoles 2, 3 in excellent yields. This reaction can be extended to the synthesis of 5-trifluoroacetyl-3-trifluoromethylnaphth[1,2-c]isoxazole (5) using hydroxylamine.
