Abstract
A study of the irradiation of trifluoroiodomethane with trifluoronitrosomethane has enabled a 90% yield of tristrifluoromethylhydroxylamine to be obtained; the compounds (CF3)2N·N(CF3)·NO, (CF3)2N·N(CF3)·NO2, and (CF3)2N·N(CF3)·O·CF3 have also been isolated. Intense irradiation of tristrifluoromethylhydroxylamine gives mainly (CF3)2N·O·N(CF3)2(73%), while weaker irradiation gives mainly (CF3)2N·N(CF3)2(up to 80%) and (CF3)2N·N(CF3)·O·CF3(up to 21%). The formation of these products is explained by an initial cleavage of the N–O bond in the hydroxylamine to give (CF3)2N· and CF3·O· radicals.Keywords
