An unexpected route to hitherto unknown amidine-functionalized phosphinines has been developed that is rapid and simple. Starting from primary amines and CF-substituted λ,σ-phosphinines, a cascade of dehydrofluorination reactions leads selectively to -amidinephosphinines. DFT calculations reveal that this unusual transformation can take place a series of nucleophilic attacks at the electrophilic, low-coordinate phosphorus atom.

The hydrofluoroolefin -1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene has been activated an initial C-F bond activation and subsequent C-H bond activation using [Rh(H)(PEt)] (1) or C-H bond activation at [Rh(CH)(PEt)] (8). In both cases the formation of [Rh{()-CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHCF}(PEt)] (3) was observed. Importantly, the C-F activation product [Rh{()-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHCF}(PEt)] (2) reacts in the presence of -1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene into 3.

The ion chemistry of the title compounds, a nonafluorobutyl methyl ether and a hydrofluoropropane, is elucidated by a combination of studies using atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. In the positive ion mode, the hydrofluoroether readily forms an [M - F]+ ion, attributable to hydronium ion induced dehydrofluorination, the product of which can be further hydrated to give a protonated hydrofluoroester. By contrast, the hydrofluoropropane does not react with the hydronium ion but rather gives hydrofluoroalkenylium cations via H atom and F atom abstraction by the dioxygen radical cation.
