A New Method for Regioselective Introduction of Trifluoromethyl Groups into Heteroarenes; Part 1. Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl-substituted 1,3-Azoles (Oxazoles, Thiazoles, Imidazoles) The reaction of 4,4-bis(trifluoromethyl) -substituted hetero-1,3-dienes [N-(Hexafluoro-2-propylidene)carboxamides, -thiocarboxamides, and -amidines] with tin(II) chloride affords 5-fluoro-4-trifluoromethyl- oxazoles, -thiazoles, and -imidazoles, respectively. The reaction sequence involves heterocyclic tin(IV) compounds as intermediates.
