THE CHEMISTRY OF 3-TRIFLUOROMETHYL-PERFLUORO-AZA-2-BUTENE AND THE SYNTHESIS OF A NEW OXAZIRIDINE: 3,3-BISTRIFLUOROMETHYL-2-TRIFLUOROMETHYLOXAZIRIDINE

Some reactions of (CF3)2C=NCF3 1 (3-trifluoromethyl-perfluoro-aza-2-butene) are reported including the isomerisation to (CF3)2CFN=CF2 3 (3-trifluoromethyl-perfluoro-2-aza-1-butene) and the formation of (CF3)2CFN(Br)CF3 5 (N-perfluoroisopropyl-N-trifluoromethyl-N-bromoamine).The synthesis and characterization of 2 (3,3-bistrifluoromethyl-2-trifluoromethyl-oxaziridine) from 1 is also reported along with its thermal rearrangement to CF3C(O)N(CF3)2 6 (bis trifluoromethyl-trifluoroacetamide) and some selective organic oxidations with 2.
