Synthesis of Some N-[1-Alkyl(Aryl)-3-oxo-4,4,4-trichloro(trifluoro)-1-buten-1-yl] -o-aminophenols and o-Phenylenediamines as Potential Anticancer Agents.

ABSTRACT The synthesis of a novel series of N-[1-alkyl(aryl)-3-oxo-4,4,4-trichloro(trifluoro)-1-buten-1-yl]-o-aminophenols and the analogous o-phenylenediamine derivatives [X3CC(O)CH=CR(o-NHC6H4Y), where X = F, Cl; R = H, Me, Et, aryl; and Y = NH2, OH] is reported.
