Reaction of unsymmetrical trifluoromethyl-containing 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 'push-pull' enamines

The reaction of 'push-pull' enamines with trifluoromethyl-containing 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was investigated. It was found that the reaction is sensitive both to the structure of the enamines and to reaction conditions. As a result, a set of various trifluoromethyldialkylanilines was obtained.
