“…Two different thermal events can be detected (by visual inspection and by DSC analyses) at 327 K (minor) and 468 K (major); 1 H NMR (250 MHz, CD 3 CN): d 5.1 (br, NH), 3.8 (6H, brq, NH-CH 2 ), 3.6 (6H, brt, N-CH 2 ); 19 (2-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-bromophenyl)aminoethyl)ammonium iodide (5) Tris- (2-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-bromophenyl)-aminoethyl)amine was prepared in 65% isolated yield from tris(2-aminoethyl)amine and pentafluorobromobenzene through a procedure strictly similar to that described above for the iodo analogue. 1 H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl 3 ): d 4.3 (3H, br, NH), 3.5 (6H, t, J = 6 Hz, NH-CH 2 ), 2.8 (6H, t, J = 6 Hz, N-CH 2 ), 19 3396, 2841, 1641, 1493, 1260, 1155, 1076, 956, 827 cm À1 . 1.0 mL of 57% aqueous HI solution is mixed with 2.0 mL of MeOH and anhydrous Na 2 SO 4 is added in sufficient amount to remove water. The solution is filtered and added to a solution of tris- (2-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-bromophenyl (6) In the first reaction step tris(2-hydroxyethoxyethyl)amine was synthesized.…”
