Treatment of cyclohexa-1,3-diene with the N-halogenoamines (CF3)2NX (X=Cl or Br) at -78 deg C gives a mixture of the 1:1 adducts, trans- and cis- and trans-; in contrast (CF3)2NI affords the former adduct exclusively.All three amines react with cyclohexa-1,4-diene under analogous conditions to yield the 1:1 adduct trans- only.Dehydrohalogenation of the 1,3-diene adducts (X=Cl or Br) with various bases (KOH powder, PriONa, ButOK) affords a mixture of 1-and 2-(NN-bistrifluoromethylamino)cyclohexa-1,3-diene.The latter diene forms a Diels-Alder adduct with trifluoronitrosomethane and the diene mixture dehydrogenates readily over a Pd-C catalyst at 180-190 deg C to give NN-bistrifluoromethylaniline exclusively in high yield.
