Abstract

Improvements in the technique for the preparation of trifluoronitrosomethane, and an investigation of factors influencing yield and conversion, are reported. The photochemical dimerisation of trifluoronitrosomethane to give O-nitrosobistrifluoromethylhydroxylamine is reversible. Bistrifluoromethylnitrarnine, a by-product from the formation of the O-nitroso- dimer, and an isomer of it, is also obtained by photolysis or pyrolysis of the O-nitrosodimer, ...
