Trifluoromethyl arsenic acids

Methylarsine, trifluoromethylarsine, and bis(trifluoromethyl)arsine [371-74-4] C2HAsF, are gases at room temperature all other primary and secondary arsines are liquids or solids. These compounds are extremely sensitive to oxygen, and ia some cases are spontaneously inflammable ia air (45). They readily undergo addition reactions with alkenes (51), alkynes (52), aldehydes (qv) (53), ketones (qv) (54), isocyanates (55), and a2o compounds (56). They also react with diborane (43) and a variety of other Lewis acids. Alkyl haUdes react with primary and secondary arsiaes to yield quaternary arsenic compounds (57).
