Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-1139(00)84960-X

Perfluoro-n-octanonitrile was found to react with aniline both in the absence and presence of solvents.A spectrum of products was formed including tris(perfluoro-n-heptyl)-s-triazine, N-phenyl-perfluoro-n-octylamidine, and N'-(perfluoro-n-octylimidoyl)-N-phenyl-perfluoro-n-octylamidine, as well as the diphenyl analogues of the last two compounds.The reaction mechanisms, infrared and mass spectra are discussed.
