Abstract
Chemoselectivity in the reactions between ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate (ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate) and various anilines was systematically studied as a function of the reaction conditions used (solvent/temperature, catalyst). The results obtained allowed chemoselective (>90%) synthesis of the corresponding ethyl 3-arylamino-4,4,4-trifluorobut-2-enoates and N-aryl-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutyramides, which were cyclized to afford 2-trifluoromethyl-4-quinolinones and 4-trifluoromethyl-2-quinolinones, respectively.

10In the reported procedure (see Ref. [2] )the starting keto ester 3 and anilines 4 were used in a ratio of 2:1; accordingly, the corresponding yields of the products 2 are calculated based on 4. Despite the fact that keto ester 3 is a cheap technical bulkware, it is still more expensive than most of the anilines 4, therefore, we believe that the chemical yields, as one of the criteria of synthetic efficiency, should be calculated on 3 to make an economical sense.
