Abstract

CW CO2 laser induced reactions of 2-butene and 2-octafluorobutene with molecular ground state 3O2 oxygen in the presence of sulfur hexafluoride afford products that can be rationalized by means of the earlier proposed mechanism involving transient dioxetane and its cleavage into carbonyl compounds.
