Table IV below shows examples of vicinal bis(difluoroamino) compounds obtained in this way. There were usually no side reactions resulting from hydrogen abstraction as the temperature was insuffi-...

The difluoroamino radical is able in some instances to abstract hydrogen from an organic substrate, producing a radical which can then itself react with NF2. The best known examples of this type are the reactions of N2F4 with some aldehydes (234), the following reaction being typical ... 

The difluoroamino radical may also react with a radical produced by a reaction with a third reactant in the system. Thus, for example, N2F4 will react with ethers when irradiated with light of wavelength 3000 A in the presence of benzophenone (80). There is no reaction between N2F4 and benzophenone, and it is thought that the latter abstracts hydrogen from the ether and so initiates reactions.
