Vy. Sosnovskikh et al., Unexpected isomerization in the series of fluorine-containing 2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-diazepines with a 2-aminoethyl group at one of the nitrogen atoms, MENDELEEV C, (2), 2000, pp. 56-57
Under kinetic control conditions, 6-methoxy-2-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)chr
omone reacts with diethylenetriamine to form 5-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-
7-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-1,4,8-triazabicyclo[5.3.0]dec-4-ene, and the l
atter undergoes isomerization to the title compound, which is more thermody
namically stable.
