Preparation of Perfluorinated Hexakis(alkylthio- and -seleno)ethanes

The perfluorinated perhetero-substituted ethanes 2a - c are prepared by irradiation of the thiocarbonates 1a - c.Upon UV-irradiation (λmax = 300 nm) bis(trifluoromethyl) trithiocarbonate (1a) decomposes by a cage process to give carbon disulfide, trifluoromethyl- and trifluoromethylthiyl radicals.In the solvent cage these radicals partly dimerize producing 3.The formation of 2a is interpreted in terms of a competition between this combination process and trapping of trifluoromethyl radicals by 1a, forming 4a, which then dimerizes.A similar mechanistic pathway is pro posed for the formation of 2b and 2c.
