Abstract

The radical addition of triethylamine (I) and 1-methylpiperidine (II) to tetrafluoroethene (III) initiated by UV and γ-60Co radiation produces tertiary amines containing 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl group at α-position (1 : 1 adducts) and/or at α,α'-positions (1 : 2 adducts). 1 : 2 Telomers, 1 : 3 adducts, and products formed by recombination of 1 : 1 adduct radicals represent minor products.
