Abstract
Cycloaddition reactions between methyl (Z)-2-bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate and various 2-tosylacetamides are described. Various 2-tosylacetamides react with methyl (Z)-2-bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate in the presence of NaH at room temperature in one step to form trifluoromethylated pyroglutamates as single diastereomers. However, employing the same reactants using t-BuOK as base at −78 °C results in the formation of trifluoromethylated 2-pyridones. A ring-closure mechanism is proposed for the reaction.
