Abstract

Trifluoromethyl N,N-aminals are important precursors allowing access to fluorinated building blocks. In this work, the direct synthesis of trifluoromethyl N,N-aminals from nitrogen containing heterocycles is reported using argon plasma in a continuous flow microreactor without any additives or metal catalysts. Their transformation to N-trifluoroethyl amines is also reported.
