INTERACTION OF α,α-DIFLUOROAZIDES

Table 3. The ratio of organophosphorus products of triaryl-
phosphines fluorination (%)
To confirm this, we carried out the reaction of azides
A-3 and A-5 with triphenylantimony (Scheme 7). The
reaction was performed in a Teflon tube, placed in a
steel autoclave, for 6 hours at 100°C. After completion
of the reaction a signal of (Рh)3SbF2 was observed in
19F NMR spectra.

heated at 50°C with 7.6 g (0.118 mol) of sodium azide
in 100 ml of DMSO for 24 h. The reaction mixture was
poured into water, the products were extracted with
ethyl acetate. The solvent was evaporated, and the
residue distilled in a vacuum, bp 73°C (0.1 mm Hg),
Thus, we have shown that the new α,α-difluoro-
azides A-3–A-6, as well as already studied azides A-
1and A-2, are good oxidative fluorinating agents. They
easily react with trialkylphosphites and hexa-
ethyltriamidophosphite. Oxidative fluorination of
triarylphosphines and (Рh)3Sb by the azides A-3 and
A-5 requires harsher conditions.

EXPERIMENTAL
1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker DPX-
400(400 MHz) spectrometer. 13С, 19F, and 31Р NMR
spectra were recorded on a Bruker CXP-200 instru-
ment at operating frequencies 53 MHz (13С), 188 MHz
(19F), and 81 MHz(31Р). Chemical shifts are given in
parts per million. Azides A-1 [1] and A-2 [5] were
synthesized according to the procedures described in
the literature. Solvents used in the current work were
purified and dried by standard methods.

were extracted with ethyl acetate. Removal of the
