Abstract

Hexafluoroacetone was readily formed by circulating a gaseous mixture of hexafluoropropene and oxygen over platinum group metals supported on carbon. Reaction temperatures, ranging from 130 to 170° C, gave both high selectivity and conversion for the hexafluoroacetone formation using a Pd/C catalyst.
