“…Trifluoromethyl-β-dicarbonyl compounds act as versatile and imperative synthons in synthetic organic chemistry particularly in regio-and stereoselective synthesis, pharmaceutical chemistry, having various applications in many fields owing to their reactivity, stability, safety, easy handling, low cost, and unique chemical properties as well as convenient access. [44,45] They are also extensively used as metal complexing agents, [46] red emissive materials for OLEDs, [47,48] key precursors for several carbocycles and heterocycles, [49] synthons, [50] or reaction intermediates in α-condensation (Aldol, Knoevenagel, etc.). The use of 1,3-dicarbonyls as Michael donors in Michael reaction with enone afforded Michael adduct by creating a carbon-carbon bond at the acceptor's β-carbon.…”
