Abstract
Abstract A variety of perfluorobenzene derivatives of phenethylamine and N-methyl-phenethylamine were prepared and examined by gas chromatography using an electron capture detector and by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric techniques. The structural requirement for good electron capturing properties was found to be the presence of a double bond between nitrogen or oxygen and the carbon atom adjacent to the perfluoroaromatic ring. The best derivatising agent for secondary amines was pentafluorobenzoyl chloride; for primary amines the choice was between pentafluorobenzaldehyde and pentafluorobenzoyl chloride.
