S. Timofei et al., CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY OF ARENE-TRIFLUOROMETHYLATED DERIVATIVES OF N-SUBSTITUTED DINITROANILINES, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 38(7), 1993, pp. 865-873
We report here the synthesis of two new N-substituted derivatives of 2
,6-dinitro-4-trifluorormethylaniline, by the reaction of 2,6-dinitro-4
-trifluoromethylchlorobenzene with primary and secondary amines. By im
proving reaction conditions described in literature, for this class of
compounds, yields higher than 90% were obtained. The new compounds we
re characterized by IR spectroscopy, elementary analysis and gas-liqui
d chromatography. Huckel molecular orbital calculations were performed
in order to explain characteristics of substitution reactions.
