A New Synthesis of 1-(Trifluoromethyl)enamines and 1- (Trifluoromethyl)alkylamines

Abstract
Several 1-(trifluoromethyl)enamines were prepared by heating trifluoroacetamides with alkylidenetriphenylphosphoranes in THF or benzene. The product enamines can be reduced (H2, Pd/C) to 1-(trifluoromethyl)alkylamines.
