(<i>E</i>)-1,1,1-Trifluoro-6,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)hexa-3,5-dien-2-one

Abstract

The title compound was obtained in high yield (84%) via the deacetylation of 3-(3,3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)allylidene)-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione with K2CO3 in refluxing methanol. This previously unreported compound has been fully characterized by 19F{1H}, 1H and 13C{1H} NMR, IR, UV-Vis, and HRMS.
