Abstract

Abstract In an earlier study [1] we had compared the photochemical behaviour of 2-trifluoromethylcyclohexanone ( 1a ) to that of the non-fluorinated parent ketone 2-methylcyclohexanone. Substitution of the methyl group on C(2) by a CF3-group strongly enhances bimolecular reactions such as reduction product formation in 2-propanol or oxetane formation in the presence of alkenes. We now report preliminary results on monomolecular photochemical reactions of several 2-(perfluoroalkyl)cycloalkanones.
