Action of atomic fluorine on E- and Z-2-butene

Irradiation of N2F4(NF2) with E- and Z-2 butene in the gas phase leads to addition of F and NF2 across the double bond in a non-stexeoselective manner and abstraction of H to give 2- butenyl radicals which interconvert rapidly before being trapped by NF2 to yield E- and Z-1- difluoroamino-2-butene and 3-difluoramino-1-butene. The configurational instability of the 2- butenyl radicals is attributed to the exothermicity of F atom abstraction. These results are contrasted with those of other workers who observed that in condensed phase reactions abstraction by t-butoxy radical leads to 2-butenyl radicals which are configurationally stable.
