Addition of free radicals to unsaturated systems. Part 24. Kinetics and mechanism of the gas-phase thermal reactions of trifluoroiodomethane with propene
Abstract
The gas-thermal addition of trifluoroiodomethane to propene, at temperatures of 533–583 K, reactant ratios from 1 : 1 to 4 : 1, and total pressures of 100–300 mmHg, is shown to be a free-radical chain reaction with the kinetic equation as shown below. It is concluded that initiation is by the reaction of
