Abstract
2,3-Epoxyperfluoro-2-methylpentane reacts with thiourea in protic (methanol, 2-propanol) and aprotic (dioxane) solvents, and also with urea in acetonitrile affording unexpected products: 1-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropionyl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoro-methylethyl)isothiourea, and 1-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropionyl)-3-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoro-methylethyl)urea respectively that result from the rearrangement of the intermediately formed ketone in the process of the intramolecular “haloform” cleavage. At the same time in dioxane the 2,3-epoxyperfluoro-2-methylpentane reacts with urea with the formation of a heterocyclic compound, 2-amino-4-pentafluoroethyl-5,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydrooxazol-4-ol. From 1-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropionyl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylethyl)isothiourea and Cu(OAc)2 a stable fluorine-containing chelate complex was obtained.
