H. Trabelsi et al., SYNTHESIS OF 2-F-ALKYLETHYLAMINES - OPTIM IZED PREPARATION OF 2-F-ALKYLETHYL AZIDES AND THEIR REDUCTION TO AMINES, Journal of fluorine chemistry, 69(1), 1994, pp. 115-117
2-F-Alkylethylamines are very important intermediates in organic fluor
ine chemistry. In this work, it has been demonstrated that it is possi
ble to combine the advantages of two techniques, i.e. phase-transfer c
atalysis and the use of water as a dispersing medium, in the reduction
of 2-F-alkylethyl azides, and hence simplify significantly the synthe
sis of such amines from 2-F-alkylethyl iodides.
