Abstract

We wish to report a high-yield synthesis of perfluorinated tertiary amines from their hydrocarbon analogues by direct fluorination. Yields up to 70%, with high purities, have been obtained from certain tertiary amines. This technique will likely develop into a new general method for producing perfluorinated amines.
