| Abstract: | The gas-phase photolysis of perfluoroacetone in the presence of ethane has been shown to result in the production of significant amounts of 1, 1-bis(trifluoromethyl)propanol-1, (CF3)2(C2H5)COH, and 1, 1, 4, 4-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)butane-1, 4-diol, (CF3)2C(OH)-CH2CH2C(OH)(CF3)2. A mechanism is presented which accounts for the relative rates of formation of these products at room temperature. |
