Vy. Sosnovskikh et Bi. Usachev, Unexpected influence of tetra- and pentafluoroethyl groups on the direction of reactions of 2-polyfluoroalkylchromones with 2-aminoethanol, MENDELEEV C, (6), 2000, pp. 240-NIL_8
2-Polyfluoroalkylchromones react with 2-aminoethanol at room temperature to
give either 3-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-polyfluoroalkylp
rop-2-en-1-ones [R-F = CF2H, CF3, (CF2)(2)OCF3 or (CF2)(3)CF3] or N-(2-hydr
oxyethyl)-2-polyfluoroalkyl-4H-chromene-4-imines [R-F = (CF2)(2)H or C2F5].
