A method for extinguishing fire uses a gaseous fire-extinguishing agent having as an active component thereof a polyfluoro-tertiary amine represented by the following formula:

Method for extinguishing fire

A nitrogen-containing perfluoroalkyl bromide, a novel compound to the art, is represented by the formula, ##STR1## wherein Rf.sub.1 and Rf.sub.2 independently stand for a perfluoroalkyl group of one to five carbon atoms, provided that Rf.sub.1 and Rf.sub.2 are 1) separated from each other, 2) directly bonded to each other, 3) bonded to each other through the medium of an oxygen atom, or 4) bonded to each other through the medium of a nitrogen atom. This novel compound is produced by decarbonylating a nitrogen-containing perfluorocarboxylic acid bromide represented by the formula, ##STR2## by exposure to an ultraviolet light.

Nitrogen-containing perfluoroalkyl bromide and method for production

A nitrogen-containing perfluoroalkanoyl peroxide is provided which is represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein Rf.sub.1 and Rf.sub.2 independently stand for an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, provided that Rf.sub.1 and Rf.sub.2 are joined to each other in one of the three patterns of union, 1) direct union, 2) union through the medium of an oxygen atom or 3) union through the medium of a nitrogen atom to form one of the three rings, i.e. five-membered ring, six-membered ring or seven-membered ring. The nitrogen-containing perfluoroalkanoyl peroxide is produced by a method which comprises oxidizing a compound represented by the following formula: ##STR2##
