-036Reaction of Tetrafluoroethene Oligomers. Part 17. Some Reactions of (E/Z)-Perfluoro-2,3-dimethylpenta-1,3-diene.-Perfluoro-1,3-diene (I) reveals extremely high reactivity towards nucleophiles and considerably different results are obtained by small structural changes both in the substrate and in the nucleophile. In the reaction of (I) with cold methanol, four monosubstituted products are obtained, whereas reaction of (I) with methanol in the presence of triethylamine yields the multisubstituted product (VII). Reaction of diene (I) with anilines furnishes either pyrroloquinolines, e.g. (XII) and (XIII), oxoazetines (XV) or azetine (XVII). A rationalization of the reaction mechanism in terms of the substitution pattern and electron demand of the substituents in the anilines is given. -(BURNS, GRAHAM D.; COE, PAUL L.; ANDREWS, COLAN L.; Perkin 1 (2001) 5, 552-557; Sch.
