ABSTRACT:

The addition reactions of CF3OF to chloro fluoro olefins have been studied in solution at low temperature (-78, -105 degrees C), and their relative rate constants have been determined using the kinetic approach of competition reactions. The reactivity and regio- and stereoselectivity are consistent with a free radical chain-propagating reaction in which the alkenes are attacked by the CF3O. radical generated by homolitic cleavage of the O-F bond in the CF3OF molecule.
