Preparation method for trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride

The invention discloses a preparation method for trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride. The preparation method comprises the following steps: subjecting trifluoroethylamine and hydrochloric acid to neutralization reaction in an ethanol-water azeotropic or near-azeotropic system so as to obtain a trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride contained solution after reaction, and removing water and ethanol through reduced pressure distillation and desolvation so as to obtain trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride. The method provided by the invention has safe process, and prepared trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride has high purity and low water content.

Biomimetic reductive amination of perfluoroalkylcarboxylic acids to α,α-dihydroperfluoroalkylamines

The first general method for the reducing reagent-free, biomimetic transformation of perfluorocarboxylic acids to the α,α-dihydroperfluoroalkyl amines is reported. High chemical yields and simplicity of the experimental procedure render this method immediately useful and synthetically superior to the conventional approaches relying on application of reducing reagents.

A practical route to fluoroalkyl- and fluoroarylamines by base-catalyzed [1,3]-proton shift reaction

The base-catalyzed [1,3]-proton shift reaction is shown to be an efficient general approach to fluoroalkyl and fluoroaryl amines starting from appropriate carbonyl compounds and benzylamine.

HYDROGEN BONDING IN GAS-PHASE ANIONS. AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN CHLORIDE ION AND BRONSTED ACIDS FROM ION CYCLOTRON RESONANCE CHLORIDE EXCHANGE EQUILIBRIA.

Ion cyclotron resonance chloride transfer equilibrium measurements have been used to establish an accurate scale of chloride ion binding energies for a variety of inorganic acids, carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, and alkyl and aryl halides. Variation of chloride ion binding energy with gas-phase acidity reveals a far more pronounced effect of electrostatic interactions than existed for the fluoride ion. Results indicate in many cases multiple binding site interactions occur. Comparison of chloride affinities with bulk solvation abilities reveals similarities and differences between gas-phase and solution behavior that may be understood in terms of strength of interaction, molecular size, and molecular shape.
