Difluoramine Chemistry
Abstract
The chemistry of primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic difluoramines is under investigation. In the absence of an alpha hydrogen, the difluoramino group is surprisingly inert to strong caustic, hydrogen reduction and to reaction with diborane. Dehydrofluorination is the principal reaction of primary and secondary aliphatic difluoramines. The apparent oxidation of iodide by carbon difluoramines appears to be intimately associated with the dehydrofluorination process. The anomalous stoichiometries observed have been explained on the basis of the hydrofluoric acid accelerated air oxidation of iodide. Acid permangante oxidation appears to be nonselective and causes extensive fragmentation even with tertiary difluoramines. Initial attempts to prepare 1,1-bis(difluoramino)cyclohexane were unsuccessful.
