In the presence of di-t-butyl nitroxide (DTBNO) polyfluoro-diacylperoxides undergo rapid decomposition in n-pentane or CClF2-CCl2F at -50 to +20 degC.The reactions are first order in peroxide and DTBNO.On the basis of ESR observation of t-butyl polyfluoroalkyl nitroxides as well as product analysis, it appears that the decomposition processes involve DTBNO induced homolysis of the peroxy bonds followed by product formation steps.
