A Novel and Simple Synthesis of Substituted Anilines by Reaction of 2-Polyfluoroalkylchromones with (Isopropylidene)isopropylamine

Abstract

The reaction of 2-polyfluoroalkylchromones with (isopropylidene)isopropylamine gives N-isopropyl 3-(2-hydroxyaryl)-5-(polyfluoroalkyl)anilines in good to moderate yields.

chromones - aliphatic ketimines - dinucleophiles - R^F-containing anilines

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Anilines(4). A mixture of chromone 1 (15.3 mmol) and imine 2 (33.7 mmol) was refluxed with drying tube for 10 h. Then, the resulting brown liquid was distilled at reduced pressure to give the corresponding aniline 4 as a yellow viscous oil. According to the ¹H NMR and ¹⁹F NMR spectra, compounds 4a-d contained only 1-3% of the starting chromones 1. Spectral and analytical data for selected products follows.
