Abstract: | Condensation of 2-hydroxyacetophenones with trichloroacetonitrile in the presence ofN-methylanilinomagnesium bromide affords hydroxyaryl β-amino-β-trichloromethylvinyl ketones, which are converted into 2-trichloromethylchromones
upon treatment with concentrated HCl. The resulting compounds react with alcoholic solutions of NH3 or KOH to form 3-amino-1-(2-hydroxyaryl)-4,4,4-trichlorobut-2-en-1-ones and 4-hydroxycoumarins, respectively.
