PARTIALLY FLUORINATED ENAMINES AND THEIR ELECTROCHEMICAL FLUORINATION

The reactions of hexafluoropropylene, its dimers and trimers, and perf luoro-1-ethylcyclo-hex-1-ene with secondary amines (dipropylamine, dib utylamine and diallylamine) have been shown to form enamines. The enam ines were electrochemically fluorinated in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride . This paper reports the electrochemical fluorination data for the flu orination of tripropylamine, tributylamine, triamylamine and the parti ally fluorinated enamines. The structures of the products have been co nfirmed by F-19 NMR and GC-MS methods.
