Abstract
Dimethyl- and bis(trifluoromethyl)-phosphines react smoothly with trifluoroethylene under u.v. irradiation to give good yields of 1 : 1 addition products. Bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphine gives almost exclusively 1,2,2-trifluoro-ethylbis(trifluoromethyl) phosphine, as expected on the basis of the stabilities of the two possible intermediate free radicals. Dimethylphosphine gives dimethyl-1,2,2-trifluoroethylphosphine, expected on the basis of intermediate radical stability, and an almost equal amount of the 1,1,2-trifluoroethyl isomer. The proportion of attack on the CF2 group of trifluoroethylene is thus higher for Me2P than that for any radical previously reported. The product distribution for the series of radicals Me2P, H2P, (CF3)2P is related to the electronic effects of the groups attached to phosphorus.
