Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making sulfur containing fluoroalkyl amines which overcomes the problems of previously known methods. Sulfur containing fluoroalkyl amines are useful as intermediates for compounds which are in turn useful for imparting water and oil repellency to textiles. Sulfur containing fluoroalkyl amines used in this manner may be found in Example 8 of Rondestvedt et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 3,655,732) wherein they are made by reacting an iodo-fluoroalkyl with an aminoalkyl thiol. Specifically, Rondestvedt et al. teaches reacting CF3(CF2)5(CH2)2I (an iodo-fluoroalkyl) with HS—CH2CH2—NH2 (an aminoalkyl thiol) to make CF3(CF2)5(CH2)2—S—CH2CH2—NH2 (a sulfur containing fluoroalkyl amine). Unlike previously known methods, the method of the present invention can achieve higher yields of sulfur containing fluoroalkyl amines without resorting to costly solvents.
