Abstract
N -Sulfinyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide reacts with succinyl chloride to form 1-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]pyrrolidine-2,5-dione in high yield. The structure of the product was proved by X-ray diffraction analysis. The product is opened with ethanol under mild conditions selectively at the C-N bond to form (1 E )-4-ethoxy-4oxo- N -[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]butanimidic acid.
