butenolides and polyfluorinated alkynyl ketimines to obtain vinylogous products featuring
two contiguous tetrasubstituted stereogenic centers. Notably, this is the first successful use
of ketimines in the ProPhenol Mannich process, and the reaction offers a new approach for
the preparation of pharmaceutically relevant products possessing trifluoromethylated
tetrasubstituted alkylamines. The reaction can be performed on large scale with reduced …
