Abstract

Flow pyrolysis of NN-dichloroperfluoro-p-toluidine at 550° C and ca. 1 mmHg yields, inter alia, perfluoro-4, 4′-azotoluene, perfluoro-4-chlorotoluene, perfluoro-(2-dichloromethyl-4- methylpyridine) and perfluoro-(1-cyano-4-methylcyclopenta-1, 3-diene); formation of the last two compounds suggests that perfluoro-p-tolylinitrene is implicated.
