Propenylamines and methods of making and using same

A method of making a composition, the method comprising:

• contacting a perfluorinated allylamine of general formula (2) with an active isomerization catalyst;
• carrying out a selective catalytic isomerization to form a 1-propenylamine of general formula (1);
• wherein each Rf1 and Rf2 comprises:
• (i) independently a linear or branched perfluoroalkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms and optionally comprises one or more catenated heteroatoms;
• or
• (ii) bonded together to form a ring structure having 4-8 carbon atoms and that
• optionally comprises one or more catenated heteroatoms, and
• wherein the selectivity for formation of the E isomer of formula (1) is at least 60 wt. %, based on the total weight of the propenylamine in the composition.
