The addition of R(F)I to N-allyl phthalimide, in the presence of zinc, in different solvents (CH2Cl2/protic agent) has been studied. Under appropriate conditions this reaction gives 3-F-alkyl-2-iodopropane-1-N-phthalimides or 2,3-bis(F-alkyl methyl)butane-1,4-di-N-phthalimides which are hydrolysed to the corresponding diamines.
