Abstract

A new convenient stereoselective pathway to alkoxy-β-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes is described. Reactions of β-chloro- and β-bromo-β-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes with sodium methoxide and potassium tert-butoxide led to methoxy- and tert-butoxy-β-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes in good to excellent yields. Bromination of tert-butoxy-β-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes proceeded with formation of aryl(bromo)methyl trifluoromethyl ketones. The latter compounds were found to be useful starting materials for the synthesis of different heterocyclic compounds bearing a trifluoromethyl group. In this way trifluoromethylated derivatives of imidazopyridine, imidazopyrimidine, imidazobenzimidazole, imidazothiazole, thiazole, and aminothiazole were obtained in moderate to high yield.

Key words
