Aqueous hydrolysis of perfluoro-αω-bisazomethines
Abstract
Aqueous hydrolysis of low molecular weight perfluoro-αω-bisazomethines produces NN′-perfluoroalkyl substituted ureas or oxamides. These compounds are surprisingly stable to acid or neutral hydrolysis. The nature of the hydrolysis product obtained is dependent upon the ease with which the perfluoro-αω-bisazomethine undergoes isomerisation to the related diazadiene.
The spectral properties of several perfluoroalkylamides are reported.
