Abstract
A fundamentally new preparation of internal and terminal gem-bis- (difluoramino)alkanes has been demonstrated by the direct fluorination of corresponding gem-bisacetamides, specifically, 1,1-bisacetamidocyclohexane and 1,1-bisacetamidopropane, leading to 1,1-bis(difluoramino)cyclohexane and 1,1-bis(difluoramino)- propane, respectively.
