The photolytic and thermal decomposition of azomethane in the presence of hexafluoroacetone produces small amounts of fluorinated products, mainly fluoroform. The mechanism of this and related reactions is discussed. It is concluded that the proposed reaction.[Formula: see text]has an activation energy of about 6 kcal./mole, with a steric factor of about 10 −5 .
