General Description

Octafluoro-1,3,5-hexatriene is a chemical compound with the formula C6F8. It's a synthetic, fluorocarbon-based compound that features an unsaturated, linear structure. This colorless gas demonstrates unusual reactivity due to the presence of conjugated carbon-fluorine bonds, resulting in unique electrical properties that make it valuable in certain industrial applications. Despite having highly reactive double bonds, it exhibits remarkable stability under standard conditions. Yet, it's subjected to several safety considerations, as its decomposition may release harmful or hazardous fluoro-organic compounds.

Thermal and UV-induced isomerisation of fluorinated hexatrienes

Irradiation of octafluoro-1,3,5-hexatriene (I) in the gas phase with a high-pressure mercury lamp gave a mixture of octafluoro-2-vinyl-cyclobutene (III) and octafluorobicyclohex-2-ene (V).The analogous photolysis of hexatriene I in the liquid phase led to an equilibrium mixture of the starting compound I (cis-isomer) and the trans-isomer II, respectively.Photolysis of 2,3,4,5-tetrafluro-1,3,5-hexatriene (VI) gave a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers, both in the vapour and liquid phases.Thermal reaction of hexatriene I gave octafluoro-1,3-cyclohexadiene (IV) as the sole product.
