RESEARCH IN HIGH-ENERGY OXIDIZERS
Abstract
The compound FCO2NF2 is being examined as a potential intermediate for the synthesis of other ONF2 compounds. Compatibility studies of FCO2NF have revealed that it is stable to glass, steel, NO, O2, and CO. Water catalyzes the decomposition of the compound and a typical mechanism has been postulated. When FCO2NF2 undergoes decomposition in the presence of C2F4, the latter does not participate in the reaction. Fluorinations of FCO2NF2, with and without CsF, led only to the production of CF3OF and nitrogen oxyfluorides. Preliminary experiments to effect condensation reactions of FCO2NF2 with NaNO2 and AgNO2 were attempted; only decomposition was observed. The reaction of CF3CO2NO with N2F4 in the presence of ultraviolet radiation led to the formation of CF3CO2NO with N2F4 in the presence of ultraviolet radiation led to the formation of CF3NO=NF. WithClNF2, CF3CO2NO gave CF3CFO, NOCl, and N2Fr as the formation of CF3NO=Nf. With ClNF2, CF3CO2NO gave CF3CFO, NOCl, and N2F4 as the principal products, which are shown to have arisen probably via the formation of CF3CO2NF2. The photolysis of mixtures of trifluoroacetyl anhydride and N2Fr 43sulted in the formation of CF3NF2. The synthesis of tetrafluorourea from perfluoroformamide and KF has been examined, and this reaction involves a labile NF2 group of potential utility as a new synthetic tool. The interaction of trifluoroacetyl anhydride with the KF complex of perfluoroformamide led to the formation of CF3CONF2.
