Abstract
A study of the reactions of trifluoromethyl radicals, produced by the photolysis of hexafluoroacetone, with propane, n-butane, and isobutane has been made. The rate constants of the hydrogen-abstraction reactions have been determined at temperatures between 27 °C and 119 °C and the activation energies found to be 6.5 ± 0.5, 5.1 ± 0.3, and 4.7 ± 0.3 kcal./mole respectively. These values are compared with those obtained for the reactions with methane and ethane, and with the corresponding reactions of methyl radicals.Keywords
