Usage

Uses

Used in Outdoor Activities:
N,N-DIETHYL CHLOROFLUOROACETAMIDE is used as an insect repellent for outdoor enthusiasts during activities such as camping and hiking. Its powerful and persistent effects make it a popular choice for protecting against insect bites and reducing the risk of insect-borne diseases.
Used in Commercial Pest Control Products:
In the commercial sector, N,N-DIETHYL CHLOROFLUOROACETAMIDE is used as a component in certain household pest control products. Its effectiveness in repelling insects makes it a valuable addition to these products, helping to protect homes and businesses from infestations.
However, due to concerns regarding its potential toxicity and environmental impact, the use of N,N-DIETHYL CHLOROFLUOROACETAMIDE is regulated in many countries. As a result, there is ongoing research and development of alternative, more environmentally friendly insect repellents to replace or supplement its use.

Reaction of 1-hydrohexafluoroisobutenyloxytrimethylsilane with fluoride ion sources. 2,2,2′,2′-Tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)divinyl ether

The reaction of 1-hydrohexafluoroisobutenyloxytrimethylsilane (2a) with cesium fluoride in diglyme leads to elimination of trimethylfluorosilane to form the 1-hydrohexafluoroisobutenolate anion (3), which is silylated with trialkylchlorosilanes at the oxygen atom. In the presence of bis(trifluoromethyl)ketene N,N,O-trimethylaminoacetal or N-(α,α- difluoroalkyl)-dialkylamines, silane 2a is transformed into 2,2,2′, 2′-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)divinyl ether. The reaction of trifluoroacetic anhydride with N-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)diethylamine affords trifluoroacetyl fluoride in quantitative yield.

TRANSFORMATION OF CHLOROFLUOROETHYLDIETHYLAMINES TO N,N-DIETHYLDIFLUOROACETAMIDE

Hydrolysis of 2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyldiethylamine (I) and 2,2-dichloro-1,1-difluoroethyldiethylamine (II) in the presence of triethylamine afforded N,N-diethylchlorofluoroacetamide (VII) and N,N-diethyldichloroacetamide (VIII), respectively.Triethylamine hydrofluoride, arising in the reaction, was used for fluorination and transformation of the amides VII and VIII to N,N-diethyldifluoroacetamide (VI).The C-Cl bond of the CHClF group in VII proved to be more reactive in nucleophilic substitution with fluoride ion than the corresponding bond in the CHCl2 group of VIII.
