Vv. Shapovalov et Va. Poluektov, THE MECHANISM OF FORMATION OF HEXAFLUOROPROPYLENE OXIDE UPON RADIATION-INDUCED OXIDATION OF HEXAFLUOROPROPYLENE, High energy chemistry, 29(1), 1995, pp. 24-25
Dependence of the formation rate of hexafluoropropylene oxide on oxyge
n pressure at 273 and 303 K was studied. It was shown that this depend
ence is almost inversely proportional. Experimental data confirm the c
onclusion that the epoxy is formed not in the commonly known reaction
R-O-O-C3F6. --> RO. + C3F6O, but rather, in the reaction R-O-C3F6. -->
R. + C3F6O.
