The pyrrole (second ring) was added in one step using the Paal-Knorr method. The thiazole (third ring) was added in three steps using chloroacylation with chloroacetonitrile followed by heterocyclization with thioamides/thioureas. %K pyrrole %K fluorinated heterocycles %K Paal-Knorr reaction %K trifluoromethoxy group %K chain heterocyclization %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/15/2/997
