Bis(trifluoromethyl) azanion

Conclusions The treatment of bis(trifluoromethyl)amine with triethylamine gives the triethylammonium salt of the bis(trifluoromethyl) azanion, which is capable of being alkylated under mild conditions.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No.1, pp.212–214, January, 1976.     

Chemistry of trifluoromethyl compounds : I. NMR evidence for bis(trifluoromethyl)zinc and methyl(trifluoromethyl)zinc

Bis(trifluoromethyl)zinc and methyl(trifluoromethyl)zinc have been identified by ¹⁹F and ^1H NMR methods. The compounds were formed in the following reactions: (1) dimethylzinc and bis(trifluoromethyl)mercury and (2) dimethylzinc and bis(trifluoromethyl)cadmium.     

Tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)ethylene anion-radical

Conclusions The reversible one-electron reduction of an isolated C =C double bond to give a stable anion-radical was observed for the first time on the example of tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)ethylene.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 482–484, February, 1978.     

Bis(trifluoromethyl)ketene anil

Summary Bis(trifluoromethyl)ketene anil was obtained by the reaction of triphenylphosphine phenylimine with perfluoroisobutylene.     

Photoisomerization of bis(trifluoromethyl)thiophenes

The photolysis of 2,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)thiophene gave an equilibrium mixture of 2,3- and 3,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)Dewar thiophenes, while that of 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)thiophene gave 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-thiophene, which seemed to be formed through an intermediate other than the Dewar form.     

Janus Face All-cis 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)- and All-cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis(trifluoromethyl)- Cyclohexanes

We report the synthesis of all-cis 1,2,4,5-tetrakis (trifluoromethyl)- and all-cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis (trifluoromethyl)- cyclohexanes by direct hydrogenation of precursor tetrakis- or hexakis- (trifluoromethyl)benzenes. The resultant cyclohexanes have a stereochemistry such that all the CF₃ groups are on the same face of the cyclohexyl ring. All-cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis(trifluoromethyl)cyclohexane is the most sterically demanding of the all-cis hexakis substituted cyclohexanes prepared to date, with a barrier (ΔG) to ring inversion calculated at 27 kcal mol⁻¹. The X-ray structure of all-cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis(trifluoromethyl)cyclohexane displays a flattened chair conformation and the electrostatic profile of this compound reveals a large diffuse negative density on the fluorine face and a focused positive density on the hydrogen face. The electropositive hydrogen face can co-ordinate chloride (K≈10³) and to a lesser extent fluoride and iodide ions. Dehydrofluorination promoted decomposition occurs with fluoride ion acting as a base.     

Bis(trifluoromethyl)-containing 1-azatricycloheptanes

6-Substituted 7-halo-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes were synthesized by the addition of water, alcohols, and acetic acid to 3-halo-7,7-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1-azatricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptanes in the presence of H₂SO₄. 5,6-Disubstituted 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes were prepared by oxymercuration of 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene.     

Bis(trifluoromethyl)-containing 1-azatricycloheptanes

Methods for the synthesis ofanti-3-halo-7, 7-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1-azatricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptanes by conjugated halogenation of 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene have been developed. Hydrohalogenation of the synthesized 1-azatricyclic compounds gives exclusively 6,7-dihalo-3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reaction of trist(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropenyl trifluoromethyl ketone with azo compounds in the presence of triphenylphosphine,and synthesis of tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)pyridazine.

The title cyclopropenylketone reacts with azo compounds and tri-phenylphosphine to give unique heterocycles; tricyclourazoles and a diazaoxacyclooctatriene. The formers were converted into a pyridazine.
