Reaction of i-Heptafluoropropyl Radicals with Cyanogen Chloride
Voehringer, Cecilia M. de,Staricco, Eduardo H.

The gas-phase reaction of i-C3F7 radicals with cyanogen chloride has been studied between 70 and 330 deg C, using heptafluoro-2-iodopropane as the free-radical source.The main product, 2-chloroheptafluoropropane, is formed via chlorine-atom abstraction by i-C3F7: i-C3F7 + ClCN -> C3F7Cl + CN (6) for which log106/k1/2/c)/cm3/2mol-1/2s-1/2> = 6.27-14.41/2.303 RT was obtained.At lower temperatures the Arrhenius plot shows curvature.This was interpreted as the occurence of another reaction producing C3F7Cl, wich could be i-C3F7 + ClCN C3F7ClCN (9.-9) C3F7ClCN -> C3F7Cl + CN (10).The results are compared with those for the reaction of other perfluoroalkyl radicals with ClCN.
Thermal decomposition of branched-chain perfluoroalkanes
Tortelli, V.,Tonelli, C.,Corvaja, C.
, p. 165 - 174 (2007/10/02)
The pyrolysis of some branched perfluoroalkanes has been studied.Homolytic cleavage of the most hindered carbon-carbon bond occurs, followed by coupling and rearrangement of the radicals so formed.This mechanism accounts for all the reaction products.Some kinetic and thermodynamic data are presented.
Skeletal Rearrangements during the Fluorination of C6-Hydrocarbons over Cobalt(III) Trifluoride
Burdon, James,Creasey, Jeremy C.,Proctor, Lee D.,Plevey, Raymond G.,Yeoman, J.R. Neil

Perfluorination of hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, methylcyclopentane and cyclohexane over cobalt(III) trifluoride gave, in each case except perhaps cyclohexane, a mixture of linear, branched and cyclic C6-fluorocarbons: the degree of skeletal rearrangement (excluding cyclohexane) varied from ca. 7percent (methylcyclopentane) to 96percent (2,2-dimethylbutane).A carbocation mechanism, which does not proceed to equilibrium, is suggested.
