Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004016579A1] The invention relates to a method for producing 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonic acid esters of formula (I) or their E/Z isomers or tautomeric forms, whereby R<1> and R<2>, independent of one another, represent hydrogen, an optionally substituted linear C1-C4 alkyl radical or an optionally substituted benzyl radical, and R<3> represents methyl or ethyl. The inventive method is characterized in that: a) an alkyl trifluoroacetate is reacted with an alkyl acetate of formula CH3-CO-OR<3> and with an alkali metal alcoholate to form an enolate of a trifluoroacetoacetic acid ester of formula (II), whereby M represents sodium or potassium, and R<3> has the aforementioned meaning, and afterwards; b) the alkali enolate of the trifluoroacetoacetic acid ester from step a) can, without further purification, directly react with an amine of formula NHR<1>R<2> in the presence of an acid to form 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonic acid esters. This two-step method enables the production of 3-amino-4,4,4- trifluorocrotonic acid esters in high yields without resulting in the formation of significant byproducts.
