The gas-thermal addition of trifluoroiodomethane to propene, at temperatures of 533-583 K, reactant ratios from 1:1 to 4:1, and total pressures of 100-300 mmHg, is shown to be a free-radical chain reaction with the kinetic equation as shown below.It is concluded that initiation is by the reaction of d/dt=k82>0.253I>1.093H6>0.41 iodine atoms, in thermal equilibrium with molecular iodine, with trifluoroiodomethane, and termination is predominantly by reactions involving trifluorobutyl radicals.The Arrhenius parameters found for k8 are discussed in terms of those for the elementary reactions involved on the basis of the proposed mechanism.
