N-Perhalofluoroalkylation of secondary amines by the reactions of the amines and amides with perhalofluoroalkanes. Halophilic attack on nitrogen nucleophile on C …
Abstract Secondary amines and amides react spontaneously with perhalofluoroalkanes CF 2 BrCFBrX (X= F, Cl, CF 3) to afford N-perhalofluoroalkylated tertiary amines in fair to good yields. Evidence for an anionic chain process initiated by the bromophilic attack of nitrogen
