Claim 0:
1. 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.
