Abstract
Tristrifluoromethylarsine reacts with arsenic trichloride at 210° to give dichlorotrifluoromethylarsine. Attempts to prepare trifluoromethyl derivatives of mercury, boron, and aluminum by interaction of trifluoromethylarsine with halides of these elements have been unsuccessful. Tristrifluoromethylarsine is stable to phosphorus at 220° but reacts with nitric oxide at 70° to give nitrogen and low yields of trifluoronitroso- and trifluoronitro-methane. It probably forms a weak 1:2 complex with pyridine.Dichlorotrifluoromethylarsine is easily reduced, at 20°, to trifluoromethylarsine by shaking with hydrogen chloride in the presence of mercury. Pyridine reacts with the chloroarsine at 20°.
