W. Navarrini et al., RELATIVE RATE CONSTANTS FOR THE REACTIONS OF CF3OF WITH OLEFINS IN SOLUTION, Journal of organic chemistry, 60(20), 1995, pp. 6441-6443
The addition reactions of CF3OF to chloro fluoro olefins have been stu
died in solution at low temperature (-78, -105 degrees C), and their r
elative rate constants have been determined using the kinetic approach
of competition reactions. The reactivity and regio- and stereoselecti
vity are consistent with a free radical chain-propagating reaction in
which the alkenes are attacked by the CF3O. radical generated by homol
itic cleavage of the O-F bond in the CF3OF molecule.
