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.
Photochemical Behaviour of Bis(trifluoromethylthiyl)trithiocarbonate in Solution

Bis(trifluoromethylthiyl))trithiocarbonate showes electronic transitions at 496 nm (n?*), 299 nm (??*) and 259 (n?*).Photolysis with 254 and 300 nm light at 200 and 309 K in pentane, and at 371 K in heptane yields a mixture of CS2 and perfluorinated compounds such as F3CSCF3, F3CSSCF3, (F3CS)3C-C(SCF3)3, (F3CS)2C=C(SCF3)2, (F3CS)3CH and F3CS-substituted solvent.The concentration of these newly formed products versus time of irradiation has been monitored.The primary photochemical process is the intramolecular decomposition into CS2 and F3CS and F3C radicals which dimerize in a solvent cage.The formation of (F3CS)3C-C(SCF3)3 is interpreted in terms of a competition between this combination process and trapping of trifluoromethyl radicals by (F3CS)2CS, forming (F3CS)3C, which subsequently dimerizes.On irradiation at 496 nm (n?*) no photochemical process has been observed. - Key words: Bis(trifluoromethylthiyl)trithiocarbonate, Electronic Spectra, Photochemical Behaviour, Tris(trifluoromethylthiyl)methyl Radical
