2-Hydroxy-2-trifluoromethylbutan-4-olides (8-10) were prepared by a four step synthesis starting from a ketone and methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate (1) as a building block. Uncatalyzed chemospecific aldolization of ketones with 1 afforded 2 hydroxy-4-oxoesters 2-4 that were selectively reduced at the oxo group by sodium borohydride to the corresponding 2,4-dihydroxyesters 5-7. Acid-catalyzed cyclization of dihydroxysters 5-7 to lactones 8-10 was strongly dependent on their structure. The lactone-ring closure with the hydroxy group at the hydroxylated cyclopentane ring afforded bicyclic lactone (10) with cyclopentane cis-annulation. 2-Hydroxy-2 trifluoromethylbutanolides appeared to be highly resistent to dehydration or eliminations of the corresponding mesylates or triflates.

Piperidine enamines derived from acetone, acetophenone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone react easily in minutes with methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate (1) to afford products of the aldol condensation in high yields at room temperature, which is in contrast to the direct aldolization of 1 with the ketones.
steps were verified for the three-component domino cyclisation affording (pyrrolo)quinazolines from 2-(aminomethyl)aniline, a very reactive oxo compound and “usual” oxo compound. The first step was a rapid reaction of very reactive oxo compound (trifluoropyruvate or hexafluoroacetone) with benzylic amino group to form hemiaminal, but not imine; the second step was the reaction of oxo compound with aromatic
