Reaction of trifluoro-l,2,4-triazine with hexafluoropropene and caesium fluoride in the absence of solvent leads to successive replacement of fluorine by perfluoroisopropyl groups to give 5-mmo-, 35and possibly 3,6-di-, and tri-substituted derivatives. Similarly, perfluoro-2-azapropene yields 5and some 6-, 3,6-bis-, and tris-perfluorodimethylamino-derivatives. Pyrolysis of trifluoro-l,2,4-triazine at 500 "C/42 h yields trifluoro-l,3,5-triazine (32%) ; of perfluoro(tri-isopropyl-l,2,4-triazine) at 560 OC/O.26 s yields perfluoroisobutyronitrile and perfluoro-2,5-dimethylhex-3-yne ; and of perfluoro(trisdimathylamino-l,2,4-triazine) at 620 "C/2.4 s yields N,N-bis(trifluoromethy1)cyanamide and perfluorobis(dim3thylamino)acetylene.TRIFLUORO-1,2,4-TRIAZINE, readily prepared by the fluorobut-2-yne and fluoride ion,6 were less successful. vapour-phase fluorination of trichloro-l,2,4-triazine with Hexafluorocyclobutene and caesium fluoride with tripotassium fluoride,2 is a versatile and reactive com-fluoro-l,2,4-triazine yielded small amounts of a mixture pound, undergoing Diels-Alder addition with ole fin^,^ which contained by mass spectrometry, mono-, di-, and nucleophilic displacement of fluorine.
