     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to novel fluorine-containing amine amide and preparation thereof. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The novel amine amide according to the present invention is represented by the formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3  and R 4  are the same or different and each a hydrogen atom, C 1  -C 18  alkyl group, an allyl group, a hydroxyethyl group, ##STR3## (in which R 6  is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a methoxy group, a dimethylamino group or a hydroxyethyl group), a group of the formula: ##STR4## (in which R 7  is --NH-- or --CH(COOH)CH 2  --) or a group of the formula: --CH 2  CF 2  CONH--R 8  (in which R 8  is a C 1  -C 4  alkyl group) with the proviso that R 2  and R 4  are not hydrogen atoms; and R 5  and R&#39; 5  are the same or different and each a C 4  -C 5  alkylene which optionally contains one or two methyl groups or a group of the formula: ##STR5## 
     The amine amide (I) or (II) can be prepared by reacting a monoamine of the formula: ##STR6## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5  and R&#39; 5  are the same as defined above with 2,2,3,3-tetrafluorooxetane (hereinafter referred to as &#34;tetrafluorooxetane&#34;) of the formula: ##STR7## in a suitable solvent. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base or a basic salt to neutralize hydrogen fluoride liberated during the reaction. 
     The solvent is preferably one stable against the base. Specific examples of the solvent are diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane, benzene, toluene, diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether and the like. 
     Specific examples of the base and the basic salt are hydroxides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc.) and salts of alkali metals with weak acids (e.g., sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, etc.). 
     The reaction temperature is usually from ice-cooled temperature to a reflux temperature of the solvent, preferably up to a temperature generated by a reaction heat. 
     The monoamine may be any one of known monoamines. Since the reaction proceeds between the amino group of the monoamine and tetrafluorooxetane, it is not affected by the kinds of the groups R 1 , R 2 , R 3  and/or R 4 . Any amino acid can be used as the monoamine according to the present invention. The reaction according to the present invention is not influenced by the chain length of these groups. 
     Tetrafluorooxetane is a known compound and may be prepared by reacting tetrafluoroethylene and paraform in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. 
     The fluorine-containing amine amides according to the present invention are useful as a thickening agent, a disoxidation catalyst and a monomer. In addition, some of them may be used as color display components. 
     The present invention will be hereinafter explained further in detail by following examples.
