Oxygen reacts with tris(trifluoromethyl)phosphine by a chain reaction involving the trifluoromethyl radical and its autoxidation. With thermal quenching, tris(trifluoromethyl) phosphate and bis(trifluoromethyl)fluorophosphine oxide are formed. Under conditions of spontaneous ignition the latter compound delivers CF2, a powerful reducing agent.
