A survey of the reaction of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) with various organometallic reagents finds that organomagnesium (Grignard) reagents are the most useful for producing N,N-difluoroaminoalkanes. Alkyl-alkyl coupling is a persistant side reaction. Organolithiums are marginally effective. Organocopper, organozinc reagents undergo primarily alkyl-alkyl coupling catalyzed by the presence of NF3. Organocalcium and organoaluminum reagents are unreactive.
