Reactions of Perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentene and Octafluoroisobutylene with Arylamines

Abstract Treatment of perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentene with four moles of arylamine provided 1-aryl-2,4-bis(arylimino)-3-(1-arylimino-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl)azetidine, 3-(N,N′-diarylamidino)-4-arylamino-2-(pentafluoroethyl)-quinoline and 2,4-bis(arylamino)-3-(1-arylimino-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl)quinoline, depending on the basicity of the arylamine and on the solvent used. Octafluoroisobutylene also yielded similar azetidine and quinoline derivatives.
