F-Ethylamine and F-Ethylimine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00535a022

The new compounds F-ethylamine, C2F5NH2, and F-ethylimine, CF3CF=NH, are readily prepared by the reaction of N,N-dichloro-F-ethylamine with trimethylsilane at -45 or -25 deg C, respectively.Both compounds are subject to dehydrofluorination.Thus, CF3CF=NH may be obtained by the loss of a single HF molecule from CF3CF2NH2 at -25 deg C.CF3CF2NH2 will react with SF4 to form CF3CF2N=SF2.Similarly, CF3CF=NH forms CF3CF=NCl with ClF in the presence of CsF.
