Abstract:

Pure 11 tetrafluorohydrazine was reacted with 1-hexene, cyclohexene, and 2,5-dimethyl-2,4hexadiene to give trans 1,2-bisdifluoramino cyclohexane cis 1,2-bisdifluoraminocyclohexane trans 2,5-bisdifluoramino-2,5-dimethyl- 3-hexene 1,2-bisdifluoramino-n-hexane. The reactions of these compounds with a variety of reagents are under investigation. Nucleophilic reagents such as alkoxide, t-amine, and iodide primarily cause dehydrofluorination of primary and secondary difluoramines, although other reactions are also observed. Tertiary organic difluoramines apparently are not attacked by these reagents. Evidence is presented which shows that the addition reaction of tetrafluorohydrazine to olefins is reversed in the mass spectrometer. Author
