The hydrolysis of 6,6-dialkylthio- and 6-alkyl(or aryl)thio-1,1,1-trifluoro-3,5-hexadien-2-ones 2, 5 with potassium hydroxide in ethanol proceeds quite easily to give the corresponding 2,4-pentadienoic acids 3, 6, respectively, in excellent yields. Bistrifluoroacetyl compounds 8,10a, b give corresponding monocarboxylic acids 6a, 3a, b in high yields, with accompanied monodecarboxylation.
