Abstract: | Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Perfluoro(isopropyl)-trifluoroacetylperoxide (CF3)2C(F)OOC(O)CF3 The reaction of perfluoroacetone (CF3)2CO with OF2 in a ratio 2 : 1 yields Perfluoro(isopropyl)-trifluoroacetylperoxide (CF3)2C(F)OOC(O)CF3. The reaction only occurs under CsF-catalysis. (CF3)2C(F)OOC(O)CF3 is characterized by vibrational, nmr and mass spectra. Using an excess of OF2 does not give any stable product. |
