Abstract

Treatment of ortho-lithiated tert-Bu N-arylcarbamates (i.e., BOC-protected anilines) with N-(trifluoroacetyl)piperidine provides 2-(N-BOC-amino)aryl trifluoromethyl ketones which, upon reaction with an alpha-alkoxycarbonyl-substituted phosphorus ylide and acid (or base) yields 4-trifluoromethyl-2-quinolinones which may bear addnl. substituents at any available position. The method is convenient and expedient. [on SciFinder (R)]
