Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction liquid was found by gas chromatography (GC) analysis to contain 56.2% of the target compound, 3-(1-hydroxy-1-trifluoromethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4,4′-oxydianiline, 22.4% of 3,3′-bis(1-hydroxy-1-trifluoromethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4,4′-oxydianiline, 9.1% of an imine produced by the reaction of hexafluoroacetone with the amine moiety of 4,4′-oxydianiline, and 12.2% of 4,4′-oxydianiline. 50 ml of toluene and 50 ml of water were added to the reaction liquid.
